(2) However, such royalties may also be taxed in the Contract-
ing State in which they arise and according to the laws of that
State, but if the beneficial owner of the royalties is a resident of
the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed
5 per cent of the gross amount of the royalties.
(3) The term “royalties” as used in this Article means payments
of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or the right
to use, any copyright of literary, artistic or scientific work includ-
ing cinematographic films, any patent, trade mark, design or
model, plan, secret formula or process, or for information con-
cerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience. The term
“royalties” shall also include payments of any kind for the use
or the right to use a person’s name, picture or any other similar
personality rights and on payments received as consideration for
the recording, broadcasting or distribution of entertainers’ or
sportsmen’s performances by radio or television.
(4) The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the
beneficial owner of the royalties, being a resident of a Contract-
ing State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in
which the royalties arise, through a permanent establishment
situated therein, or performs in that other State independent per-
sonal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the right or
property in respect of which the royalties are paid is effectively
connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In
such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case
may be, shall apply.
(5) Royalties shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State
when the payer is that State itself, a Land, a political subdivision,
a local authority or a resident of that State. Where, however, the
person paying the royalties, whether he is a resident of a Con-
tracting State or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent
establishment or fixed base in connection with which the liability
to pay the royalties was incurred, and such royalties are borne by
such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such royalties
shall be deemed to arise in the Contracting State in which the
permanent establishment or fixed base is situated.
(6) Where, by reason of a special relationship between the
payer and the beneficial owner or between both of them and
some other person, the amount of the royalties, having regard to
the use, right or information for which they are paid, exceeds the
amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and
the beneficial owner in the absence of such relationship, the pro-
visions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned
amount. In such case, the excess part of the payments shall
remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State,
due regard being had to the other provisions of this Agreement.

Review status
Pending human wording, completeness, source-authority, currentness, alignment and rendering review. No legal review performed.
Currentness
Original source edition; not a verified current-law consolidation. Unknown as current law. Signed 2006-05-03; consent law 2006-12-02; gazette publication 2006-12-07. Edition ID year is not a signature date. Treaty entry into force: not resolved as a single source-bound field by the retained audit. Roster general application: 2007-01-01 (not a universal tax-specific rule). Cached official article entry statements (may refer to multiple instruments): 19. Dezember 2006, 30. Juli 2012. Evidence is the retained 2026-10-01 agent audit of source PDF, 2026-01-01 roster and cached official HTML, not a fresh current-law determination. Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force.
Protocols and later instruments

Later amending protocol signed 2011-05-17, entered into force 2012-07-30, general application 2012-07-30; NOT included in this base source. Tax-specific application needs review.

MLI application and complete later amendments, replacements or suspensions are NOT verified. No developments after the retained roster snapshot are certified. This is NOT a current consolidated instrument. Source-triage warnings: Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force. Known related/later instruments NOT included in this source (agent triage, not exhaustive): amending-protocol; signature date: 2011-05-17; entry into force: 2012-07-30; general application from: 2012-07-30; limit: Exact tax-specific application remains for protocol review.
