(1) Nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in
the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement
connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than
the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of
that other State in the same circumstances, especially with re-
spect to residence, are or may be subjected. This provision shall,
notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1, also apply to persons
who are not residents of one or both of the Contracting States.
(2) The taxation on a permanent establishment which an en-
terprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State
shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than the tax-
ation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the
same activities. This provision shall not be construed as obliging
a Contracting State to grant to residents of the other Contracting
State any personal allowances, reliefs and reductions for taxa-
tion purposes on account of civil status or family responsibilities
which it grants only to its own residents.
(3) Except where the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 9,
paragraph 8 of Article 11, or paragraph 6 of Article 12, apply, in-
terest, royalties and other disbursements paid by an enterprise
of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State
shall, for the purpose of determining the taxable profits of such
enterprise, be deductible under the same conditions as if they
had been paid to a resident of the first-mentioned State. Similar-
ly, any debts of an enterprise of a Contracting State to a resident
of the other Contracting State shall, for the purpose of determin-
ing the taxable capital of such enterprise, be deductible under
the same conditions as if they had been contracted to a resident
of the first-mentioned State.
(4) Enterprises of a Contracting State, the capital of which is
wholly or partly owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one
or more residents of the other Contracting State, shall not be
subjected in the first-mentioned State to any taxation or any re-
quirement connected therewith which is other or more burden-
some than the taxation and connected requirements to which
other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned State are or may
be subjected.
