(1) Dividenden, die eine in einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Ge-
sellschaft an eine im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässige Person
zahlt, können im anderen Staat besteuert werden.
(2) Diese Dividenden können jedoch auch in dem Vertrags-
staat, in dem die die Dividenden zahlende Gesellschaft ansässig
ist, nach dem Recht dieses Staates besteuert werden; die Steu-
er darf aber, wenn der Nutzungsberechtigte der Dividenden im
anderen Vertragsstaat ansässig ist, nicht übersteigen:
a) 5 vom Hundert des Bruttobetrags der Dividenden, wenn der
Nutzungsberechtigte eine Gesellschaft (jedoch keine Perso-
nengesellschaft oder REIT-Gesellschaft) ist, die unmittelbar
über mindestens 10 vom Hundert des Kapitals der die Divi-
denden zahlenden Gesellschaft verfügt;
b) 15 vom Hundert des Bruttobetrags der Dividenden in allen
anderen Fällen.
Dieser Absatz berührt nicht die Besteuerung der Gesellschaft in
Bezug auf die Gewinne, aus denen die Dividenden gezahlt wer-
den.
(3) Der in diesem Artikel verwendete Ausdruck „Dividenden“
bedeutet Einkünfte aus Aktien, Genussrechten oder Genuss-
scheinen, Kuxen, Gründeranteilen oder anderen Rechten – aus-
genommen Forderungen – mit Gewinnbeteiligung und sonstige
Einkünfte, die nach dem Recht des Staates, in dem die ausschüt-
tende Gesellschaft ansässig ist, den Einkünften aus Aktien steu-
erlich gleichgestellt sind, sowie Einkünfte aus Ausschüttungen
auf Anteilscheine an einem deutschen Investmentvermögen.
(4) Die Absätze 1 und 2 sind nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in
einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte im anderen
Vertragsstaat, in dem die die Dividenden zahlende Gesellschaft
ansässig ist, eine gewerbliche Tätigkeit durch eine dort gelegene
Betriebsstätte ausübt und die Beteiligung, für die die Dividenden
gezahlt werden, tatsächlich zu dieser Betriebsstätte gehört. In
diesem Fall ist Artikel 7 anzuwenden.
(5) Erzielt eine in einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Gesellschaft
Gewinne oder Einkünfte aus dem anderen Vertragsstaat, so darf
dieser andere Staat weder die von der Gesellschaft gezahlten
Dividenden besteuern, es sei denn, dass diese Dividenden an
eine im anderen Staat ansässige Person gezahlt werden oder
dass die Beteiligung, für die die Dividenden gezahlt werden, tat-
sächlich zu einer im anderen Staat gelegenen Betriebsstätte ge-
hört, noch Gewinne der Gesellschaft einer Steuer für nicht aus-
geschüttete Gewinne unterwerfen, selbst wenn die gezahlten
Dividenden oder die nicht ausgeschütteten Gewinne ganz oder
teilweise aus im anderen Staat erzielten Gewinnen oder Einkünf-
ten bestehen.

Text- und Sprachumfang
The original signing clause identifies German and Spanish as equally authentic; both are supplied separately. Divergent interpretation is referred to Article24; no English treaty version is claimed. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-spain-2012-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence. Signed 2011-02-03; consent law 2012-01-16; Gazette publication 2012-01-20; treaty entry into force UNRESOLVED in pinned audit (retained official-article audit evidence); general application from 2013-01-01 (roster, not universal tax-specific start). Encoding-recovery method: only independently evidenced source font code00 /space Unicode mappings U+0007 to U+0020 changed in a separately hashed derivative. CFF blank glyphs, 278-unit advances, unchanged decoded page content streams and 25/25 identical page renders evidence this mapping. Word regrouping is logged; every nonspace character is conserved in sequence within its physical source line. No generated treaty wording and no OCR.
