(1) Nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in
the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement
connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than
the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of
that other State in the same circumstances, in particular with
respect to residence, are or may be subjected.
(2) Stateless persons who are residents of a Contracting State
shall not be subjected in either Contracting State to any taxation
or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more
burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to
which nationals of the State concerned in the same circum-
stances are or may be subjected.
(3) The taxation on a permanent establishment which an en-
terprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State
shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than the
taxation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the
same activities.
(4) Except where the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 9,
paragraph 4 or 5 of Article 11, paragraph 4 or 5 of Article 12, or
paragraph 4 or 5 of Article 21 apply, interest, royalties and other
disbursements paid by an enterprise of a Contracting State to a
resident of the other Contracting State shall, for the purpose of
determining the taxable profits of such enterprise, be deductible
under the same conditions as if they had been paid to a resident
of the first-mentioned State. Similarly, any debts of an enterprise
of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State
shall, for the purpose of determining the taxable capital of such
enterprise, be deductible under the same conditions as if they
had been contracted to a resident of the first-mentioned State.
(5) Enterprises of a Contracting State, the capital of which is
wholly or partly owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one
or more residents of the other Contracting State, shall not be
subjected in the first-mentioned State to any taxation or any
requirement connected therewith which is other or more burden-
some than the taxation and connected requirements to which
other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned State are or may
be subjected.
(6) Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as
obliging either Contracting State to grant to individuals not
resident in that State any of the personal allowances, reliefs and
reductions for tax purposes which are granted to individuals so
resident or to its nationals.
