(1) Lizenzgebühren, die aus einem Vertragsstaat stammen
und an eine im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässige Person gezahlt
werden, können im anderen Staat besteuert werden.
(2) Diese Lizenzgebühren können jedoch auch in dem Ver-
tragsstaat, aus dem sie stammen, nach dem Recht dieses Staa-
tes besteuert werden; die Steuer darf aber, wenn der Nutzungs-
berechtigte der Lizenzgebühren im anderen Vertragsstaat
ansässig ist, 10 Prozent des Bruttobetrags der Lizenzgebühren
nicht übersteigen.
(3) Der in diesem Artikel verwendete Ausdruck „Lizenz -
gebühren“ bedeutet Vergütungen jeder Art, die für die Benut-
zung oder für das Recht auf Benutzung von Urheberrechten an
literarischen, künstlerischen oder wissenschaftlichen Werken,
einschließlich kinematographischer Filme oder Filme oder Ton-
bändern für Radio- oder Fernsehfunk, von Patenten, Waren -
zeichen, Mustern oder Modellen, Plänen, geheimen Formeln oder
Verfahren oder für die Benutzung oder das Recht auf Benutzung
gewerblicher, kaufmännischer oder wissenschaftlicher Ausrüs-
tung mit Ausnahme von Seeschiffen oder Luftfahrzeugen im
internationalen Verkehr oder für die Mitteilung gewerblicher, kauf-
männischer oder wissenschaftlicher Erfahrungen oder für tech-
nische oder wirtschaftliche Studien oder für technische Hilfe
gezahlt werden. Der Ausdruck „Lizenzgebühren“ beinhaltet
auch Vergütungen jeder Art für die Benutzung oder das Recht
auf Benutzung von Namen, Bildern oder sonstigen vergleich -
baren Persönlichkeitsrechten sowie Entgelte für die Aufzeichnung
der Veranstaltungen von Künstlern und Sportlern durch Rund-
funk- oder Fernsehanstalten.
(4) Die Absätze 1 und 2 sind nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in
einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte im anderen
Vertragsstaat, aus dem die Lizenzgebühren stammen, eine Ge-
schäftstätigkeit durch eine dort gelegene Betriebsstätte oder eine
selbstständige Arbeit durch eine dort gelegene feste Einrichtung
ausübt und die Rechte oder Vermögenswerte, für die die Lizenz-
gebühren gezahlt werden, tatsächlich zu dieser Betriebsstätte
oder festen Einrichtung gehören. In diesem Fall ist Artikel 7 be-
ziehungsweise Artikel 14 anzuwenden.
(5) Lizenzgebühren gelten dann als aus einem Vertragsstaat
stammend, wenn der Schuldner eine in diesem Staat ansässige
Person ist. Hat aber der Schuldner der Lizenzgebühren, ohne
Rücksicht darauf, ob er in einem Vertragsstaat ansässig ist oder
nicht, in einem Vertragsstaat eine Betriebsstätte oder feste
Einrichtung und ist die Verpflichtung zur Zahlung der Lizenz -
gebühren für Zwecke der Betriebsstätte oder der festen Einrich-
tung eingegangen worden und trägt die Betriebsstätte oder
die feste Einrichtung die Lizenzgebühren, so gelten die Lizenz-
gebühren als aus dem Staat stammend, in dem die Betriebs -
stätte oder die feste Einrichtung liegt.
(6) 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
Beziehungen vereinbart hätten, so wird dieser Artikel nur auf den
letzteren Betrag angewendet. In diesem Fall kann der über -
steigende Betrag nach dem Recht eines jeden Vertragsstaats
und unter Berücksichtigung der anderen Bestimmungen dieses
Abkommens besteuert werden.
