四、如果特许权使用费受益所有人是缔约国一方居民,在该特许权使用费发生的缔约国另一方,通过设在该缔约国另一方的常设机构进行营业或者通过设在该缔约国另一方的固定基地从事独立个人劳务,据以支付该特许权使用费的权利或财产与该常设机构或固定基地有实际联系的,不适用第一款和第二款的规定。在这种情况下,应视具体情况适用第七条或第十三条的规定。
4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the royalties, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in which the royalties arise, through a permanent establishment situated therein; or performs in that other Contracting State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the right or property in respect of which the royalties are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 or 13, as the case may be, shall apply.
五、(一)如果支付特许权使用费的人是缔约国一方政府、行政区、地方当局或该缔约国居民,应认为该特许权使用费发生在该缔约国。然而,当支付特许权使用费的人不论是否为缔约国一方居民,在缔约国一方设有常设机构或者固定基地,支付该特许权使用费的义务与该常设机构或者固定基地有联系,并由其负担特许权使用费,上述特许权使用费应认为发生于该常设机构或者固定基地所在缔约国。
5.(a) Royalties will be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is the government of that Contracting State itself, a political subdivision, a local authority or a resident of that Contracting State. Where, however, the person paying the royalties, whether he is a resident of a Contracting State or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent establishment or a fixed base in connection with which the liability to pay the royalties was incurred, and such royalties are borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such royalties shall be deemed to arise in the Contracting State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated.
(二)如果根据第(一)项,特许权使用费不发生于缔约国双方的任何一方,但该特许权使用费与在缔约国双方的一方使用或有权使用该权利或财产有关,上述特许权使用费应认为发生于该缔约国。
(b)Where under subparagraph (a) royalties do not arise in one of the Contracting States, and the royalties related to the use of, or the right to use, the right or property in one of the Contracting States, the royalties shall be deemed to arise in that Contracting State.
六、由于支付特许权使用费的人与受益所有人之间或他们与其他人之间的特殊关系,就有关使用、权利或情报支付的特许权使用费数额超出支付人与受益所有人没有上述关系所能同意的数额时,本条规定应仅适用于后来提及的数额。在这种情况下,对该支付款项的超出部分,仍应按各缔约国的法律征税,但应适当考虑本协定的其它规定。
6. 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 Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Agreement.

2. The taxation on a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State shall not be less favorably levied in that other Contracting State than the taxation levied on enterprises of that other Contracting State carrying on the same activities.

三、除适用第八条、第十条第七款或第十一条第六款规定外,缔约国一方居民支付给缔约国另一方居民的利息、特许权使用费和其它款项,在确定该缔约国一方居民应纳税利润时,应与在同样情况下支付给该缔约国一方居民同样予以扣除。

4. 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 Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned Contracting State are or may be subjected.
第二十四条ARTICLE 24 (Mutual Agreement)

The competent authority shall endeavor, if the objection appears to it to be justified and if it is not itself able to arrive at a satisfactory solution, to resolve the case through consultation with the competent authority of the other Contracting State, with a view to the avoidance of taxation which is not in accordance with this Agreement. Any agreement reached shall be implemented notwithstanding any time limits in the domestic law of the Contracting States.
