1. Income derived by an individual who is a resident of a Con-
tracting State in respect of professional services or other activ-
ities of an independent character shall be taxable only in that
State unless he has a fixed base regularly available to him in the
other Contracting State for the purpose of performing his activ-
ities. If he has such a fixed base, the income may be taxed in the
other State but only so much of it as is attributable to that fixed
base. For the purpose of this Agreement, where an individual
who is a resident of a Contracting State is present in the other
Contracting State for a period or periods exceeding in the aggre-
gate 183 days in any twelve month period commencing or end-
ing in the fiscal year concerned, he shall be deemed to have a
fixed base regularly available to him in that other State and the
income that is derived from his activities that are performed in
that other State shall be attributable to that fixed base.
2. The term “professional services” includes especially inde-
pendent scientific, literary, artistic, educational or teaching activ-
ities as well as the independent activities of physicians, dentists,
lawyers, engineers, architects and accountants.
