Article 13 Royalties

     1. Royalties arising in one of the States and beneficially owned by a resident of the other State shall be taxable only in that other State.
     2. The term "royalties" as used in this Convention means payments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or the right to use, any copyright of literary, artistic, or scientific work (but not including motion pictures or works on film, tape or other means of reproduction used for radio or television broadcasting), any patent, trademark, trade name, brand name, design or model, plan, secret formula or process, or for information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience. The term "royalties" also includes gains derived from the alienation of any such right or property which are contingent on the productivity, use, or disposition thereof.
     3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the royalties, being a resident of one of the States, carries on business in the other State, in which the royalties arise, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the royalties are attributable to such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 (Business Profits) or Article 15 (Independent Personal Services), as the case may be, shall apply.
     4. Where, by reason of a special relationship between the payer and the beneficial owner or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the royalties, having regard to the use, right, or information for which they are paid, exceeds the amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and the beneficial owner in the absence of such relationship, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In such case the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the laws of each State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Convention.
     5. A State may not impose any tax on royalties paid by a resident of the other State, except insofar as
a) the royalties are paid to a resident of the first- mentioned State;
b) the royalties are attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in the first-mentioned State;
c) the contract under which the royalties are paid was concluded in connection with a permanent establishment or a fixed base which the payer has in the first-mentioned State, and such royalties are borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base and are not paid to a resident of the other State; or
d) royalties are paid in respect of intangible property used in the first-mentioned State and not paid to a resident of the other State, but only where the payer has also received a royalty paid by a resident of the first-mentioned State, or borne by a permanent establishment or fixed base situated in that State, in respect of the use of that property in the first- mentioned State and provided that the use of the intangible property in question is not a component part of nor directly related to the active conduct of a trade or business in which the payer is engaged as meant in paragraph 2 of Article 26 (Limitation on Benefits).
     6. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, royalties arising in one of the States and beneficially owned by an enterprise of the other State and attributable to a permanent establishment of that enterprise in a third jurisdiction, may also be taxed in the first- mentioned State if the profits of that permanent establishment are subject to an aggregate rate of tax, in the other State and the third jurisdiction in which the permanent establishment is situated, that is, in the case of royalties arising in the first-mentioned State and beneficially owned by an enterprise of the other State before January 1, 1998, less than 50 percent of the general rate of company tax applicable in the other State, and in the case of royalties arising in the first-mentioned State and beneficially owned by an enterprise of the other State on or after January 1, 1998, less than 60 percent of the general rate of company tax applicable in the other State, but the tax so charged shall not exceed 15 percent of the gross amount of such royalties.
     However, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply if the royalties are received as a compensation for the use of, or the right to use, intangible property produced or developed by the permanent establishment itself.
