(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
respect 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
enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting
State shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than
the taxation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on
the same activities.
(3) Nothing in this Article shall be construed as obliging a
Contracting State to grant to:
a) residents of the other Contracting State any personal
allowances, reliefs and reductions for tax purposes which it
grants to its own residents; or
b) nationals of the other Contracting State those personal
allowances, reliefs and reductions for tax purposes which it
grants to its own nationals who are not residents of that
State or to such other persons who have been granted such
personal allowances, reliefs and reductions under the taxa-
tion laws of that State as at the date of the signing of this
Agreement.
(4) Except where the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 9,
paragraph 7 of Article 11, or paragraph 6 of Article 12, apply,
interest, royalties and other disbursements paid by an enter-
prise of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contract-
ing State shall, for the purpose of determining the taxable prof-
its of such enterprise, be deductible under the same conditions
as if they had been paid to a resident of the first-mentioned
State. Similarly, any debts of an enterprise of a Contracting
State to a resident of the other Contracting State shall, for the
purpose of determining 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.
(5) 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
requirement connected therewith which is other or more bur-
densome than the taxation and connected requirements to
which other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned State are
or may be subjected.
