(1) Zinsen, die aus einem Vertragsstaat stammen und an
eine im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässige Person gezahlt werden,
können im anderen Staat besteuert werden.
(2) Diese Zinsen können jedoch auch in dem Vertragsstaat,
aus dem sie stammen, nach dem Recht dieses Staates besteuert
werden; die Steuer darf aber, wenn der Nutzungsberechtigte der
Zinsen im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässig ist, nicht übersteigen:
a) 2,5 Prozent des Bruttobetrags der Zinsen, wenn der Nut-
zungsberechtigte eine Bank ist;
b) 10 Prozent des Bruttobetrags der Zinsen in allen anderen
Fällen.
(3) Ungeachtet des Absatzes 2 gilt Folgendes:
a) Zinsen, die aus der Tunesischen Republik stammen und für
ein durch Gewährleistungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
für Ausfuhren oder Direktinvestitionen im Ausland gedeck-
tes Darlehen oder an die Regierung der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland, die Deutsche Bundesbank, die Kreditanstalt
für Wiederaufbau oder die DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und
Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH gezahlt werden, sind von der
tunesischen Steuer befreit;
b) Zinsen, die aus der Bundesrepublik Deutschland stammen
und an die Regierung der Tunesischen Republik, an die
Banque Centrale de Tunisie (BCT), an die Banque Nationale
Agricole (BNA), an die Société Tunisienne de Banque (STB),
an die Banque de l’Habitat (BH), an die Banque Tunisienne
de Solidarité (BTS) und an die Banque de financement
des petites et des moyennes entreprises (BFPME) gezahlt
werden, sind von der deutschen Steuer befreit.
(4) Der in diesem Artikel verwendete Ausdruck „Zinsen“ be-
deutet Einkünfte aus Forderungen jeder Art, auch wenn die
Forderungen durch Pfandrechte an Grundstücken gesichert
sind, und insbesondere Einkünfte aus öffentlichen Anleihen und
aus Obligationen einschließlich der damit verbundenen Aufgelder
und der Gewinne aus Losanleihen. Zuschläge für verspätete Zah-
lung gelten nicht als Zinsen im Sinne dieses Artikels.
(5) Die Absätze 1 bis 3 sind nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in
einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte im anderen
Vertragsstaat, aus dem die Zinsen stammen, eine Geschäfts -
tätigkeit durch eine dort gelegene Betriebsstätte oder eine
selbstständige Arbeit durch eine dort gelegene feste Einrichtung
ausübt und die Forderung, für die die Zinsen gezahlt werden, tat-
sächlich zu dieser Betriebsstätte oder festen Einrichtung gehört.
In diesem Fall ist Artikel 7 beziehungsweise Artikel 14 anzu -
wenden.
(6) Zinsen gelten dann als aus einem Vertragsstaat stammend,
wenn der Schuldner eine in diesem Staat ansässige Person ist.
Hat aber der Schuldner der Zinsen, ohne Rücksicht darauf, ob
er in einem Vertragsstaat ansässig ist oder nicht, in einem Ver-
tragsstaat eine Betriebsstätte oder eine feste Einrichtung und ist
die Schuld, für die die Zinsen gezahlt werden, für Zwecke der
Betriebsstätte oder der festen Einrichtung eingegangen worden
und trägt die Betriebsstätte oder die feste Einrichtung die Zinsen,
so gelten die Zinsen als aus dem Staat stammend, in dem die
Betriebsstätte oder die feste Einrichtung liegt.
(7) Bestehen zwischen dem Schuldner und dem Nutzungs -
berechtigten oder zwischen jedem von ihnen und einem Dritten
besondere Beziehungen und übersteigen deshalb die Zinsen, ge-
messen an der zugrunde liegenden Forderung, den Betrag, den
Schuldner und Nutzungsberechtigter ohne diese Beziehungen
vereinbart hätten, so wird dieser Artikel nur auf den letzteren Be-
trag angewendet. In diesem Fall kann der übersteigende Betrag
nach dem Recht eines jeden Vertragsstaats und unter Berück-
sichtigung der anderen Bestimmungen dieses Abkommens be-
steuert werden.
