(1) Los cánones procedentes de un Estado contratante cuyo
beneficiario efectivo sea un residente del otro Estado contratan-
te sólo pueden someterse a imposición en ese otro Estado.
(2) El término “cánones” empleado en el presente artículo, sig-
nifica las cantidades de cualquier clase pagadas por el uso o la
concesión de uso de derechos de autor incluidas las películas
cinematográficas y las películas, cintas y otros medios de repro-
ducción de la imagen y el sonido, de patentes, marcas de fábri-
ca o de comercio, dibujos o modelos, planos, fórmulas o proce-
dimientos secretos, o por el uso, o la concesión de uso, de
equipos industriales, comerciales o científicos, o por información
relativa a experiencias industriales, comerciales o científicas. El
término “cánones” comprende asimismo los pagos de cualquier
naturaleza percibidos como contraprestación por el uso o la con-
cesión de uso del nombre o la imagen de una persona o cual-
quier otro derecho de imagen o sobre la identidad, o por la gra-
bación de la actividad de deportistas o las actuaciones de
artistas para la radio o la televisión.
(3) Las disposiciones del apartado 1 de este artículo no se
aplican si el beneficiario efectivo de los cánones, residente de
un Estado contratante, realiza en el otro Estado contratante, del
que proceden los cánones, una actividad económica por medio
de un establecimiento permanente situado en ese otro Estado y
el derecho o bien por el que se pagan los cánones está vincula-
do efectivamente a dicho establecimiento permanente. En tal
caso se aplicarán las disposiciones del artículo 7.
(4) Cuando por razón de las relaciones especiales existentes
entre el deudor y el beneficiario efectivo, o de las que uno y otro
mantengan con terceros, el importe de los cánones, habida
cuenta del uso, derecho o información por los que se pagan, ex-
ceda del que habrían convenido el deudor y el beneficiario efec-
tivo en ausencia de tales relaciones, las disposiciones de este
artículo no se aplican más que a este último importe. En tal caso,
la cuantía en exceso podrá someterse a imposición de acuerdo
con la legislación de cada Estado contratante, teniendo en cuen-
ta las demás disposiciones del presente Convenio.

Text and language scope
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.
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. 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.
