(1) Les dividendes payés par une société qui est un résident
d’un État contractant à un résident de l’autre État contractant
sont imposables dans cet autre État.
(2) Toutefois, ces dividendes sont aussi imposables dans
l’État contractant dont la société qui paie les dividendes est un
résident et selon la législation de cet État, mais si le bénéficiaire
effectif des dividendes est un résident de l’autre État contractant,
l’impôt ainsi établi ne peut excéder:
a) 5 pour cent du montant brut des dividendes si le bénéficiaire
effectif est une société (autre qu’une société de personnes)
qui détient directement au moins 10 pour cent du capital de
la société qui paie les dividendes;
b) 15 pour cent du montant brut des dividendes, dans tous les
autres cas.
Le présent paragraphe n’affecte pas l’imposition de la société au
titre des bénéfices qui servent au paiement des dividendes.
(3) Le terme «dividendes» employé dans le présent article
désigne les revenus provenant d’actions, actions ou bons de
jouissance, parts de mine, parts de fondateur et les autres reve-
nus soumis au même régime fiscal que les revenus d’actions par
la législation de l’État dont la société distributrice est un résident,
ainsi que les distributions afférentes à des parts dans un fonds
d’investissement.
(4) Les dispositions des paragraphes 1 et 2 ne s’appliquent
pas lorsque le bénéficiaire effectif des dividendes, résident d’un
État contractant, exerce dans l’autre État contractant dont la
société qui paie les dividendes est un résident soit une activité
d’entreprise par l’intermédiaire d’un établissement stable qui y
est situé, soit une profession indépendante au moyen d’une base
fixe qui y est située et que la participation génératrice des divi-
dendes s’y rattache effectivement. Dans ce cas, les dispositions
de l’article 7 ou de l’article 14, suivant le cas, sont applicables.
(5) Lorsqu’une société qui est un résident d’un État contrac-
tant tire des bénéfices ou des revenus de l’autre État contractant,
cet autre État ne peut percevoir aucun impôt sur les dividendes
payés par la société, sauf dans la mesure où ces dividendes sont
payés à un résident de cet autre État ou dans la mesure où la
participation génératrice des dividendes se rattache effective-
ment à un établissement stable ou à une base fixe situé dans cet
autre État, ni prélever aucun impôt, au titre de l’imposition des
bénéfices non distribués, sur les bénéfices non distribués de la
société, même si les dividendes payés ou les bénéfices non dis-
tribués consistent en tout ou en partie en bénéfices ou revenus
provenant de cet autre État.
