(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7, 14 and 15,
income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an enter-
tainer, such as a theatre, motion picture, radio or television
artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman, from his personal
activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State may
be taxed in that other State.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 12, the income
derived by the person mentioned in paragraph 1 above from his
personal activities exercised in the other Contracting State shall
also include:
a) remuneration of any kind paid for the use of or the right to
use his name, picture or other personal rights; and
b) income derived from any right for the recording and trans-
mission of his artistic or athletic performances by radio,
television or any other media,
provided that such remuneration or income is effectively con-
nected with his personal activities exercised in the other Con-
tracting State.
(3) Where income as defined in paragraphs 1 and 2 above
accrues not to the entertainer or sportsman himself but to
another person, that income may, notwithstanding the pro-
visions of Articles 7, 14 and 15, be taxed in the Contracting
State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are
exercised.
(4) Paragraphs 1 and 3 above shall not apply to income
accruing from the exercise of activities by artistes or sportsmen
in a Contracting State where the visit to that State is financed
entirely or mainly from public funds of a State, a Land, a
political subdivision or a local authority thereof or by a recog-
nised charitable organisation in the Federal Republic of Ger-
many or by a statutory body in Singapore. In such a case the
income shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which
the person is a resident.
