(1) Lizenzgebühren, die aus einem Vertragsstaat stammen und
deren Nutzungsberechtigter im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässig
ist, können nur im anderen Staat besteuert werden.
(2) Der in diesem Artikel verwendete Ausdruck „Lizenzge -
bühren“ bedeutet Vergütungen jeder Art, die für die Benutzung
oder das Recht auf Benutzung von Urheberrechten, einschließ-
lich kinematographischer Filme sowie Filmen, Tonbändern oder
anderen Trägern für die Bild- oder Tonwiedergabe, von Patenten,
Warenzeichen, Mustern oder Modellen, Plänen, geheimen For-
meln oder Verfahren oder für die Benutzung oder das Recht auf
Benutzung gewerblicher, kaufmännischer oder wissenschaft -
licher Ausrüstungen oder für die Mitteilung gewerblicher, kauf-
männischer oder wissenschaftlicher Erfahrungen gezahlt werden.
Der Ausdruck „Lizenzgebühren“ beinhaltet auch Vergütungen
jeder Art für die Benutzung oder das Recht auf Benutzung von
Namen, Bildern oder sonstigen vergleichbaren Persönlichkeits-
rechten oder für die Aufzeichnung der Veranstaltungen von
Künstlern und Sportlern durch Rundfunk- oder Fernsehanstalten.
(3) Absatz 1 ist nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in einem Ver-
tragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte im anderen Vertrags-
staat, aus dem die Lizenzgebühren stammen, eine Geschäfts -
tätigkeit durch eine dort gelegene Betriebsstätte ausübt und die
Rechte oder Vermögenswerte, für die die Lizenzgebühren gezahlt
werden, tatsächlich zu dieser Betriebsstätte gehören. In diesem
Fall ist Artikel 7 anzuwenden.
(4) Bestehen zwischen dem Schuldner und dem Nutzungs -
berechtigten oder zwischen jedem von ihnen und einem Dritten
besondere Beziehungen und übersteigen deshalb die Lizenz -
gebühren, gemessen an der zugrunde liegenden Leistung, den
Betrag, den Schuldner und Nutzungsberechtigter ohne diese Be-
ziehungen vereinbart hätten, so wird dieser Artikel nur auf den
letzteren Betrag angewendet. In diesem Fall kann der überstei-
gende Betrag nach dem Recht eines jeden Vertragsstaats und
unter Berücksichtigung der anderen Bestimmungen dieses Ab-
kommens besteuert werden.

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.

Original source edition; not a verified current-law consolidation. Original base edition only; current law NOT verified. Integral protocol retained separately, not merged into the final article. Later changes and 2026 developments are not exhaustively verified. KNOWN MLI EFFECTS OMITTED: audit records general application from 2025-01-01 and Part VI from 2024-11-01; neither is incorporated. Tax-specific MLI application remains unreviewed. Replaces agreement signed 1966-12-05; exact transitional effects remain unreviewed. 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.
