Sporazum se uporablja tudi za enake ali vsebinsko podobne davke, ki se po dnevu podpisa sporazuma uvedejo poleg obstoječih davkov ali namesto njih. Pristojna organa držav pogodbenic v razumnem roku drug drugega uradno obvestita o vseh bistvenih spremembah njunih davčnih zakonodaj.

1. V tem sporazumu, razen če sobesedilo ne zahteva drugače: a) (i) izraz »Islamska republika Iran« pomeni ozemlje pod suverenostjo in/ali jurisdikcijo Islamske republike Iran; (ii) izraz »Slovenija« pomeni Republiko Slovenijo, in kadar se uporablja v geografskem pomenu, ozemlje Slovenije ter tista morska območja, na katerih lahko Slovenija izvaja svoje suverene pravice ali jurisdikcijo skladno s svojo notranjo zakonodajo in mednarodnim pravom; b) izraza »država pogodbenica« in »druga država pogodbenica« pomenita Islamsko republiko Iran ali Slovenijo, kakor zahteva sobesedilo; c) izraz »oseba« vključuje: (i) posameznika; (ii) družbo in katero koli drugo telo, ki združuje več oseb; d) izraz »družba« pomeni katero koli korporacijo ali kateri koli subjekt, ki se za davčne namene obravnava kot korporacija; e) izraza »podjetje države pogodbenice« in »podjetje druge države pogodbenice« pomenita podjetje, ki ga upravlja rezident države pogodbenice, in podjetje, ki ga upravlja rezident druge države pogodbenice; f) izraz »mednarodni promet« pomeni prevoz z ladjo, zrakoplovom ali cestnim vozilom, ki ga opravlja podjetje države pogodbenice, razen če se z ladjo, zrakoplovom ali cestnim vozilom ne opravljajo prevozi samo med kraji v drugi državi pogodbenici; g) izraz »pristojni organ« pomeni: (i) v Islamski republiki Iran: ministra za gospodarske zadeve in finance ali njegovega pooblaščenega predstavnika; (ii) v Sloveniji: Ministrstvo za finance Republike Slovenije ali njegovega pooblaščenega predstavnika; h) izraz »državljan« v zvezi z državo pogodbenico pomeni: (i) posameznika, ki ima državljanstvo države pogodbenice; (ii) pravno osebo, partnerstvo ali združenje, katerega status izhaja iz veljavne zakonodaje v tej državi pogodbenici. 2. Kadar država pogodbenica uporabi sporazum, ima izraz, ki v njem ni opredeljen, razen če sobesedilo ne zahteva drugače, pomen, ki ga ima takrat po pravu te države za namene davkov, za katere se sporazum uporablja, pri čemer pomen po veljavni davčni zakonodaji te države prevlada nad pomenom izraza po drugi zakonodaji te države.

1. V tem sporazumu izraz »rezident države pogodbenice« pomeni osebo, ki mora po zakonodaji te države plačevati davke zaradi svojega prebivališča, stalnega prebivališča, kraja registracije, sedeža uprave ali katerega koli drugega podobnega merila, in vključuje tudi to državo in katero koli njeno politično enoto ali lokalno oblast. Ta izraz pa ne vključuje osebe, ki mora plačevati davke v tej državi samo v zvezi z dohodki iz virov v tej državi ali od premoženja v njej. 2. Kadar je zaradi določb prvega odstavka posameznik rezident obeh držav pogodbenic, se njegov status določi tako: a) šteje se samo za rezidenta države, v kateri ima na voljo stalni dom.

1. V tem sporazumu izraz »stalna poslovna enota« pomeni stalno mesto poslovanja, prek katerega v celoti ali delno potekajo posli podjetja. 2.

Gradbišče, projekt gradnje, montaže ali postavitve ali dejavnosti nadzora v zvezi z njimi je stalna poslovna enota samo, če tako gradbišče, projekt ali dejavnosti trajajo na ozemlju države pogodbenice več kakor devet mesecev. 4. Ne glede na prejšnje določbe tega člena se šteje, da izraz »stalna poslovna enota« ne vključuje: a) uporabe prostorov samo za skladiščenje ali razstavljanje dobrin ali blaga, ki pripada podjetju; b) vzdrževanja zaloge dobrin ali blaga, ki pripada podjetju, samo za skladiščenje ali razstavljanje; c) vzdrževanja zaloge dobrin ali blaga, ki pripada podjetju, samo za predelavo, ki jo opravi drugo podjetje; d) vzdrževanja stalnega mesta poslovanja samo za nakup dobrin ali blaga za podjetje ali zbiranje informacij za podjetje; e) vzdrževanja stalnega mesta poslovanja samo za opravljanje kakršne koli druge pripravljalne ali pomožne dejavnosti za podjetje; f) vzdrževanja stalnega mesta poslovanja samo za kakršno koli kombinacijo dejavnosti, omenjenih v pododstavkih od a do e, če je celotna dejavnost stalnega mesta poslovanja, ki je posledica te kombinacije, pripravljalna ali pomožna. 5. Ne glede na določbe prvega in drugega odstavka se, kadar oseba (ki ni zastopnik z neodvisnim statusom, za katerega se uporablja šesti odstavek) deluje v imenu podjetja ter ima in običajno uporablja v državi pogodbenici pooblastilo za sklepanje pogodb v imenu podjetja, za to podjetje šteje, da ima stalno poslovno enoto v tej državi v zvezi z dejavnostmi, ki jih ta oseba prevzame za podjetje, razen če dejavnosti te osebe niso omejene na tiste iz četrtega odstavka, zaradi katerih se to stalno mesto poslovanja po določbah tega odstavka ne bi štelo za stalno poslovno enoto, če bi se opravljale prek stalnega mesta poslovanja. 6. Ne šteje se, da ima podjetje stalno poslovno enoto v državi pogodbenici samo zato, ker posluje v tej državi prek posrednika, splošnega komisionarja ali katerega koli drugega zastopnika z neodvisnim statusom, če te osebe delujejo v okviru svojega rednega poslovanja. Kadar pa so dejavnosti takega zastopnika v celoti ali skoraj v celoti namenjene temu podjetju ter se med podjetjem in zastopnikom v njunih komercialnih ali finančnih odnosih vzpostavijo ali določijo pogoji, drugačni od tistih, ki bi se vzpostavili med neodvisnimi podjetji, se ta ne šteje za zastopnika z neodvisnim statusom v smislu tega odstavka. 7. Dejstvo, da družba, ki je rezidentka države pogodbenice, nadzoruje družbo ali je pod nadzorom družbe, ki je rezidentka druge države pogodbenice ali posluje v tej drugi državi (prek stalne poslovne enote ali drugače), še ne pomeni, da je ena od družb stalna poslovna enota druge.

1. Dohodek rezidenta države pogodbenice iz nepremičnin (vključno z dohodkom iz kmetijstva ali gozdarstva), ki so v drugi državi pogodbenici, se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi. 2. Izraz »nepremičnine« pomeni enako kakor po pravu države pogodbenice, v kateri so te nepremičnine. Izraz vedno vključuje premoženje, ki je sestavni del nepremičnin, živino in opremo, ki se uporablja v kmetijstvu in gozdarstvu, pravice, za katere se uporabljajo določbe splošnega prava v zvezi z zemljiško lastnino, užitek na nepremičninah in pravice do spremenljivih ali stalnih plačil kot nadomestilo za izkoriščanje ali pravico do izkoriščanja nahajališč rude, virov ter drugega naravnega bogastva, vključno z nafto, plinom in kamnolomi. Ladje, čolni, zrakoplovi ali cestna in železniška vozila se ne štejejo za nepremičnine. 3. Določbe prvega odstavka se uporabljajo za dohodek, ki se ustvari z neposredno uporabo, dajanjem v najem ali katero koli drugo obliko uporabe nepremičnine. 4. Določbe prvega in tretjega odstavka se uporabljajo tudi za dohodek iz nepremičnin podjetja in za dohodek iz nepremičnin, ki se uporabljajo za opravljanje samostojnih osebnih storitev.

1. Dobiček podjetja države pogodbenice se obdavči samo v tej državi, razen če podjetje ne posluje v drugi državi pogodbenici prek stalne poslovne enote v njej. Če podjetje posluje tako, kakor je omenjeno, se lahko dobiček podjetja obdavči v drugi državi, vendar samo toliko dobička, kolikor se pripiše tej stalni poslovni enoti. 2. Kadar podjetje države pogodbenice posluje v drugi državi pogodbenici prek stalne poslovne enote v njej, se ob upoštevanju določb tretjega odstavka v vsaki državi pogodbenici tej stalni poslovni enoti pripiše dobiček, za katerega bi se lahko pričakovalo, da bi ga imela, če bi bila različno in ločeno podjetje, ki opravlja enake ali podobne dejavnosti pod enakimi ali podobnimi pogoji ter povsem neodvisno posluje s podjetjem, katerega stalna poslovna enota je. 3. Pri ugotavljanju dobička stalne poslovne enote je dovoljeno odšteti stroške, ki nastanejo za namene stalne poslovne enote, vključno s poslovodnimi in splošnimi upravnimi stroški, ki so nastali v državi, v kateri je stalna poslovna enota, ali drugje. 4. Če se v državi pogodbenici dobiček, ki se pripiše stalni poslovni enoti, običajno ugotavlja na podlagi porazdelitve vsega dobička podjetja na njegove dele, nič v drugem odstavku tej državi pogodbenici ne preprečuje ugotavljati obdavčljivega dobička s tako običajno porazdelitvijo. Sprejeta metoda porazdelitve pa mora biti taka, da je rezultat v skladu z načeli tega člena. 5. Stalni poslovni enoti se ne pripiše dobiček samo zato, ker nakupuje dobrine ali blago za podjetje. 6. Za namene prejšnjih odstavkov se dobiček, ki se pripiše stalni poslovni enoti, vsako leto ugotavlja po enaki metodi, razen če ni upravičenega in zadostnega razloga za nasprotno. 7. Kadar dobiček vključuje dohodkovne postavke, ki so posebej obravnavane v drugih členih tega sporazuma, določbe tega člena ne vplivajo na določbe tistih členov.

1. Dobiček podjetja države pogodbenice, dosežen z opravljanjem ladijskih, zračnih ali cestnih prevozov v mednarodnem prometu, se obdavči samo v tej državi. 2. Določbe prvega odstavka se uporabljajo tudi za dobiček podjetja države pogodbenice, dosežen z udeležbo v interesnem združenju, mešanem podjetju ali mednarodni prevozni agenciji, vendar samo za toliko dobička, kolikor se pripiše udeležencu sorazmerno z njegovim deležem v skupnem poslovanju.

1. Kadar: a) je podjetje države pogodbenice neposredno ali posredno udeleženo pri upravljanju, nadzoru ali v kapitalu podjetja druge države pogodbenice ali b) so iste osebe neposredno ali posredno udeležene pri upravljanju, nadzoru ali v kapitalu podjetja države pogodbenice in podjetja druge države pogodbenice in se v obeh primerih med podjetjema v njunih komercialnih ali finančnih odnosih vzpostavijo ali določijo pogoji, drugačni od tistih, ki bi se vzpostavili med neodvisnimi podjetji, se lahko kakršen koli dobiček, ki bi prirastel enemu od podjetij, če takih pogojev ne bi bilo, vendar prav zaradi takih pogojev ni prirastel, vključi v dobiček tega podjetja in ustrezno obdavči. 2. Kadar država pogodbenica v dobiček podjetja te države vključi – in ustrezno obdavči – dobiček, za katerega je bilo že obdavčeno podjetje druge države pogodbenice v tej drugi državi, in je tako vključeni dobiček dobiček, ki bi prirasel podjetju prve omenjene države, če bi bili pogoji, ki se vzpostavijo med podjetjema, taki, kot če bi jih vzpostavili neodvisni podjetji, lahko ta druga država ustrezno prilagodi znesek davka, ki se v tej državi obračuna od tega dobička. Pri določanju take prilagoditve je treba upoštevati druge določbe tega sporazuma, pristojna organa držav pogodbenic pa se po potrebi med seboj posvetujeta.

1. Dividende, ki jih družba, ki je rezidentka države pogodbenice, plača rezidentu druge države pogodbenice, se lahko obdavčijo v tej drugi državi. 2. Take dividende pa se lahko obdavčijo tudi v državi pogodbenici, katere rezidentka je družba, ki dividende plačuje, in v skladu z zakonodajo te države, če pa je upravičeni lastnik dividend rezident druge države pogodbenice, tako obračunani davek ne sme presegati 7 odstotkov bruto zneska dividend. Ta odstavek ne vpliva na obdavčenje družbe v zvezi z dobičkom, iz katerega se izplačajo dividende. 3. Izraz »dividende«, kakor je uporabljen v tem členu, pomeni dohodek iz delnic, delnic »jouissance« ali pravic »jouissance«, ustanoviteljskih delnic ali drugih pravic do udeležbe pri dobičku, ki niso terjatve, in tudi dohodek iz drugih korporacijskih pravic, ki se davčno obravnava enako kot dohodek iz delnic po zakonodaji države, katere rezidentka je družba, ki dividende deli. 4. Določbe prvega in drugega odstavka se ne uporabljajo, če upravičeni lastnik dividend, ki je rezident države pogodbenice, posluje v drugi državi pogodbenici, katere rezidentka je družba, ki dividende plačuje, prek stalne poslovne enote v njej ali opravlja v tej drugi državi pogodbenici samostojne osebne storitve iz stalne baze v njej in je delež, v zvezi s katerim se dividende plačajo, dejansko povezan s tako stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo. V tem primeru se uporabljajo določbe 7. ali 14. člena, odvisno od primera. 5. Kadar dobiček ali dohodek družbe, ki je rezidentka države pogodbenice, izhaja iz druge države pogodbenice, ta druga država ne sme uvesti nobenega davka na dividende, ki jih plača družba, razen če se te dividende plačajo rezidentu te druge države ali če je delež, v zvezi s katerim se take dividende plačajo, dejansko povezan s stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo v tej drugi državi, niti ne sme uvesti davka od nerazdeljenega dobička na nerazdeljeni dobiček družbe, tudi če so plačane dividende ali nerazdeljeni dobiček v celoti ali delno sestavljeni iz dobička ali dohodka, ki nastane v tej drugi državi.

1. Obresti, ki nastanejo v državi pogodbenici in se plačajo rezidentu druge države pogodbenice, se lahko obdavčijo v tej drugi državi. 2. Take obresti pa se lahko obdavčijo tudi v državi pogodbenici, v kateri nastanejo, in v skladu z zakonodajo te države, če pa je upravičeni lastnik obresti rezident druge države pogodbenice, tako obračunani davek ne sme presegati 5 odstotkov bruto zneska obresti. 3. Ne glede na določbe drugega odstavka se obresti, ki nastanejo v državi pogodbenici in se plačajo rezidentu druge države pogodbenice, ki je njihov upravičeni lastnik, obdavčijo le v tej drugi državi, če so obresti plačane: a) vladi druge države pogodbenice ali njeni politični enoti ali lokalni oblasti ali centralni banki druge države pogodbenice; b) v zvezi s prodajo industrijske, komercialne ali znanstvene opreme na kredit; c) v zvezi s prodajo blaga na kredit enega podjetja drugemu podjetju. 4. Izraz »obresti«, kakor je uporabljen v tem členu, pomeni dohodek iz vseh vrst terjatev ne glede na to, ali so zavarovane s hipoteko, in ne glede na to, ali dajejo pravico do udeležbe pri dolžnikovem dobičku, ter zlasti dohodek iz državnih vrednostnih papirjev in dohodek iz obveznic ali zadolžnic, vključno s premijami in nagradami od takih vrednostnih papirjev, obveznic ali zadolžnic. Kazni zaradi zamude pri plačilu se za namen tega člena ne štejejo za obresti. 5. Določbe prvega, drugega in tretjega odstavka se ne uporabljajo, če upravičeni lastnik obresti, ki je rezident države pogodbenice, posluje v drugi državi pogodbenici, v kateri obresti nastanejo, prek stalne poslovne enote v njej ali opravlja v tej drugi državi samostojne osebne storitve iz stalne baze v njej in je terjatev, v zvezi s katero se obresti plačajo, dejansko povezana s tako stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo. V tem primeru se uporabljajo določbe 7. ali 14. člena, odvisno od primera. 6. Šteje se, da obresti nastanejo v državi pogodbenici, kadar je plačnik rezident te države. Kadar pa ima oseba, ki plačuje obresti, ne glede na to, ali je rezident države pogodbenice, v državi pogodbenici stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo, v zvezi s katero je nastala zadolženost, za katero se plačajo obresti, ter take obresti krije stalna poslovna enota ali stalna baza, se šteje, da take obresti nastanejo v državi, v kateri je stalna poslovna enota ali stalna baza. 7. Kadar zaradi posebnega odnosa med plačnikom in upravičenim lastnikom ali med njima in drugo osebo znesek obresti glede na terjatve, za katere se plačajo, presega znesek, za katerega bi se sporazumela plačnik in upravičeni lastnik, če takega odnosa ne bi bilo, se določbe tega člena uporabljajo samo za nazadnje omenjeni znesek. V tem primeru se presežni del plačil še naprej obdavčuje v skladu z zakonodajo vsake države pogodbenice, pri čemer je treba upoštevati druge določbe tega sporazuma.

1. Licenčnine in avtorski honorarji, ki nastanejo v državi pogodbenici in se plačajo rezidentu druge države pogodbenice, se lahko obdavčijo v tej drugi državi. 2. Take licenčnine in avtorski honorarji pa se lahko obdavčijo tudi v državi pogodbenici, v kateri nastanejo, in v skladu z zakonodajo te države, če pa je upravičeni lastnik licenčnin in avtorskih honorarjev rezident druge države pogodbenice, tako obračunani davek ne sme presegati 5 odstotkov bruto zneska licenčnin in avtorskih honorarjev. 3. Izraz »licenčnine in avtorski honorarji«, kakor je uporabljen v tem členu, pomeni vse vrste plačil, prejetih kot povračilo za uporabo ali pravico do uporabe kakršnih koli avtorskih pravic za literarno, umetniško ali znanstveno delo, vključno s kinematografskimi filmi ter radijskimi in televizijskimi posnetki, katerega koli patenta, blagovne znamke, vzorca ali modela, načrta, tajne formule ali postopka ali za uporabo ali pravico do uporabe industrijske, komercialne ali znanstvene opreme ali za informacije o industrijskih, komercialnih ali znanstvenih izkušnjah. 4. Določbe prvega in drugega odstavka se ne uporabljajo, če upravičeni lastnik licenčnin in avtorskih honorarjev, ki je rezident države pogodbenice, posluje v drugi državi pogodbenici, v kateri licenčnine in avtorski honorarji nastanejo, prek stalne poslovne enote v njej ali opravlja v tej drugi državi samostojne osebne storitve iz stalne baze v njej in je pravica ali premoženje, v zvezi s katerim se licenčnine in avtorski honorarji plačajo, dejansko povezano s tako stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo. V tem primeru se uporabljajo določbe 7. ali 14. člena, odvisno od primera. 5. Šteje se, da licenčnine in avtorski honorarji nastanejo v državi pogodbenici, kadar je plačnik rezident te države. Kadar pa ima oseba, ki plačuje licenčnine in avtorske honorarje, ne glede na to, ali je rezident države pogodbenice, v državi pogodbenici stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo, v zvezi s katero je nastala obveznost za plačilo licenčnin in avtorskih honorarjev, ter take licenčnine in avtorske honorarje krije taka stalna poslovna enota ali stalna baza, se šteje, da so take licenčnine in avtorski honorarji nastali v državi, v kateri je stalna poslovna enota ali stalna baza. 6. Kadar zaradi posebnega odnosa med plačnikom in upravičenim lastnikom ali med njima in drugo osebo znesek licenčnin in avtorskih honorarjev glede na uporabo, pravico ali informacijo, za katero se plačujejo, presega znesek, za katerega bi se sporazumela plačnik in upravičeni lastnik, če takega odnosa ne bi bilo, se določbe tega člena uporabljajo samo za nazadnje omenjeni znesek. V tem primeru se presežni del plačil še naprej obdavčuje v skladu z zakonodajo vsake države pogodbenice, pri čemer je treba upoštevati druge določbe tega sporazuma.

1. Dobiček, ki ga rezident države pogodbenice doseže z odtujitvijo nepremičnin, ki so navedene v 6. členu in so v drugi državi pogodbenici, se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi. 2. Dobiček iz odtujitve premičnin, ki so del poslovnega premoženja stalne poslovne enote, ki jo ima podjetje države pogodbenice v drugi državi pogodbenici, ali premičnin, ki so povezane s stalno bazo, ki je na voljo rezidentu države pogodbenice v drugi državi pogodbenici zaradi opravljanja samostojnih osebnih storitev, vključno z dobičkom iz odtujitve take stalne poslovne enote (same ali s celotnim podjetjem) ali take stalne baze, se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi. 3. Dobiček, ki ga podjetje države pogodbenice doseže z odtujitvijo ladij, zrakoplovov ali cestnih vozil, s katerimi se opravljajo prevozi v mednarodnem prometu, ali premičnin, ki se nanašajo na opravljanje prevozov s takimi ladjami, zrakoplovi ali cestnimi vozili, se obdavči samo v tej državi. 4. Dobiček, ki ga rezident države pogodbenice doseže z odtujitvijo deležev, katerih več kakor 50 odstotkov vrednosti izhaja neposredno ali posredno iz nepremičnin, ki so v drugi državi pogodbenici, se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi. 5. Dobiček iz odtujitve premoženja, ki ni navedeno v prvem, drugem, tretjem in četrtem odstavku, se obdavči samo v državi pogodbenici, katere rezident je oseba, ki odtuji premoženje.

1. Dohodek, ki ga rezident države pogodbenice pridobi s poklicnimi storitvami ali drugimi samostojnimi dejavnostmi, se obdavči samo v tej državi, razen če nima stalne baze, ki mu je redno na voljo v drugi državi pogodbenici za opravljanje njegovih dejavnosti. Če ima tako stalno bazo, se dohodek lahko obdavči v drugi državi pogodbenici, vendar samo toliko dohodka, kolikor se pripiše tej stalni bazi. 2. Izraz »poklicne storitve« še zlasti vključuje samostojne znanstvene, literarne, umetniške, vzgojne ali izobraževalne dejavnosti in tudi samostojne dejavnosti zdravnikov, inženirjev, odvetnikov, arhitektov, zobozdravnikov in računovodij.

1. Ob upoštevanju določb 16., 18., 19. in 20. člena se plače, mezde in drugi podobni prejemki, ki jih dobi rezident države pogodbenice iz zaposlitve, obdavčijo samo v tej državi, razen če se zaposlitev ne izvaja v drugi državi pogodbenici. Če se zaposlitev izvaja tako, se lahko tako dobljeni prejemki obdavčijo v tej drugi državi. 2. Ne glede na določbe prvega odstavka se prejemek, ki ga dobi rezident države pogodbenice iz zaposlitve, ki se izvaja v drugi državi pogodbenici, obdavči samo v prvi omenjeni državi, če: a) je prejemnik navzoč v drugi državi v obdobju ali obdobjih, ki skupno ne presegajo 183 dni v katerem koli dvanajstmesečnem obdobju, ki se začne ali konča v posameznem davčnem letu, in b) prejemek plača delodajalec, ki ni rezident druge države, ali se plača v njegovem imenu ter c) prejemka ne krije stalna poslovna enota ali stalna baza, ki jo ima delodajalec v drugi državi. 3. Ne glede na prejšnje določbe tega člena se prejemek, ki izhaja iz zaposlitve na ladji, zrakoplovu ali cestnih vozilih, s katerimi podjetje države pogodbenice opravlja prevoze v mednarodnem prometu, obdavči samo v tej državi pogodbenici. Če prejemek dobi rezident druge države pogodbenice, pa se lahko obdavči tudi v tej drugi državi.

Prejemki direktorjev in druga podobna plačila, ki jih dobi rezident države pogodbenice kot član upravnega odbora ali podobnega organa družbe, ki je rezident druge države pogodbenice, se lahko obdavčijo v tej drugi državi.

1. Ne glede na določbe 14. in 15. člena se lahko dohodek, ki ga dobi rezident države pogodbenice kot nastopajoči izvajalec, kakor je gledališki, filmski, radijski ali televizijski umetnik ali glasbenik, ali kot športnik iz takih osebnih dejavnosti, ki jih opravlja v drugi državi pogodbenici, obdavči v tej drugi državi. 2. Kadar dohodek iz osebnih dejavnosti, ki jih opravlja nastopajoči izvajalec ali športnik kot tak, ne priraste nastopajočemu izvajalcu ali športniku, temveč drugi osebi, se ta dohodek kljub določbam 7., 14. in 15. člena lahko obdavči v državi pogodbenici, v kateri je nastopil izvajalec ali športnik. 3. Določbe prvega in drugega odstavka se ne uporabljajo za dohodek nastopajočega izvajalca ali športnika iz dejavnosti, ki jih je opravljal v okviru kulturnega sporazuma, sklenjenega med državama pogodbenicama.

Ob upoštevanju določb drugega odstavka 19. člena se pokojnine in drugi podobni prejemki, ki se izplačujejo rezidentu države pogodbenice za preteklo zaposlitev, obdavčijo samo v tej državi.

1. a) Plače, mezde in drugi podobni prejemki, razen pokojnin, ki jih država pogodbenica ali njena politična enota ali lokalna oblast plačuje posamezniku za storitve, ki jih opravi za to državo ali enoto ali lokalno oblast, se obdavčijo samo v tej državi. b) Take plače, mezde in drugi podobni prejemki se obdavčijo samo v drugi državi pogodbenici, če se storitve opravljajo v tej državi in je posameznik rezident te države, ki: (i) je državljan te države ali (ii) ni postal rezident te države samo zaradi opravljanja storitev. 2. Pokojnina, ki jo plačuje država pogodbenica ali njena politična enota ali lokalna oblast ali se posamezniku plačuje iz njihovih skladov za storitve, opravljene za to državo ali enoto ali lokalno oblast, se obdavči samo v tej državi. 3. Za plače, mezde in druge podobne prejemke ter pokojnine za storitve, opravljene v zvezi s poslovanjem države pogodbenice ali njene politične enote ali lokalne oblasti, se uporabljajo določbe 15., 16., 17. in 18. člena.

1. Plačila, ki jih za svoje preživljanje, izobraževanje ali usposabljanje prejme študent ali oseba na praksi, ki je ali je bila tik pred obiskom države pogodbenice rezidentka druge države pogodbenice in je v prvi omenjeni državi navzoča samo zaradi svojega izobraževanja ali usposabljanja, se ne obdavčijo v tej državi, če taka plačila izhajajo iz virov zunaj te države. 2. Posameznik, ki je rezident države pogodbenice tik pred obiskom druge države pogodbenice in je na povabilo univerze, višje ali visoke šole, šole ali druge podobne izobraževalne ustanove, ustanovljene v skladu z zakonodajo druge države pogodbenice, na obisku v drugi državi pogodbenici za največ dve leti samo zaradi poučevanja ali raziskovanja ali obojega v taki izobraževalni ustanovi, je oproščen davka v drugi državi pogodbenici za prejemke za tako poučevanje ali raziskovanje. 3. Določbe drugega odstavka se ne uporabljajo za dohodek od poučevanja in raziskovanja, če se tako poučevanje ali raziskovanje ne izvaja v javno korist, ampak predvsem v zasebno korist določene osebe ali oseb.

1. Deli dohodka rezidenta države pogodbenice, ki nastanejo kjer koli in niso obravnavani v prejšnjih členih tega sporazuma, se obdavčijo samo v tej državi. 2. Določbe prvega odstavka se ne uporabljajo za dohodek, ki ni dohodek iz nepremičnin, kakor so opredeljene v drugem odstavku 6. člena, če prejemnik takega dohodka, ki je rezident države pogodbenice, posluje v drugi državi pogodbenici prek stalne poslovne enote v njej ali opravlja v tej drugi državi samostojne osebne storitve prek stalne baze v njej in je pravica ali premoženje, v zvezi s katerim se plača dohodek, dejansko povezano s tako stalno poslovno enoto ali stalno bazo. V tem primeru se uporabljajo določbe 7. ali 14. člena, odvisno od primera.

1. Premoženje v obliki nepremičnin iz 6. člena, ki so v lasti rezidenta države pogodbenice in je v drugi državi pogodbenici, se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi. 2. Premoženje v obliki premičnin, ki so del poslovnega premoženja stalne poslovne enote, ki jo ima podjetje države pogodbenice v drugi državi pogodbenici, ali premičnine v zvezi s stalno bazo, ki je na voljo rezidentu države pogodbenice v drugi državi pogodbenici za opravljanje samostojnih osebnih storitev, se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi pogodbenici. 3. Premoženje v obliki ladij, zrakoplovov ali cestnih vozil, s katerimi podjetje države pogodbenice opravlja prevoze v mednarodnem prometu, ali premičnin v zvezi z opravljanjem prevozov s takimi ladjami, zrakoplovi ali cestnimi vozili se obdavči samo v tej državi pogodbenici. 4. Vse drugo premoženje rezidenta države pogodbenice se obdavči samo v tej državi.

1. Kadar rezident države pogodbenice doseže dohodek ali ima v lasti premoženje, ki se v skladu z določbami tega sporazuma lahko obdavči v drugi državi pogodbenici, prva omenjena država dovoli: a) kot odbitek od davka od dohodka tega rezidenta znesek, ki je enak davku od dohodka, plačanemu v tej drugi državi; b) kot odbitek od davka od premoženja tega rezidenta znesek, ki je enak davku od premoženja, plačanemu v tej drugi državi pogodbenici. Tak odbitek pa v nobenem primeru ne sme presegati tistega dela pred odbitkom izračunanega davka od dohodka ali premoženja, ki se nanaša, odvisno od primera, na dohodek ali premoženje, ki se lahko obdavči v tej drugi državi. 2. Kadar je v skladu s katero koli določbo sporazuma dohodek, ki ga doseže rezident države pogodbenice, ali premoženje, ki ga ima v lasti, oproščeno davka v tej državi, lahko ta država pri izračunu davka od preostalega dohodka ali premoženja tega rezidenta kljub temu upošteva oproščeni dohodek ali premoženje.

1. Državljani države pogodbenice ne smejo biti v drugi državi pogodbenici zavezani kakršnemu koli obdavčevanju ali kakršni koli zahtevi v zvezi s tem, ki je drugačna ali bolj obremenjujoča, kakor so ali so lahko obdavčevanje in s tem povezane zahteve za državljane te druge države v enakih okoliščinah, še zlasti glede rezidentstva. Ta določba se ne glede na določbe 1. člena uporablja tudi za osebe, ki niso rezidenti ene ali obeh držav pogodbenic. 2. Obdavčevanje stalne poslovne enote, ki jo ima podjetje države pogodbenice v drugi državi pogodbenici, v tej drugi državi ne sme biti manj ugodno, kakor je obdavčevanje podjetij te druge države, ki opravljajo enake dejavnosti. Ta določba se ne razlaga kot zavezujoča za državo pogodbenico, da prizna rezidentom druge države pogodbenice kakršne koli osebne olajšave, druge olajšave in znižanja za davčne namene zaradi osebnega stanja ali družinskih obveznosti, ki jih priznava svojim rezidentom. 3. Podjetja države pogodbenice, katerih kapital je v celoti ali delno, neposredno ali posredno v lasti ali pod nadzorom enega ali več rezidentov druge države pogodbenice, ne smejo biti v prvi omenjeni državi zavezana kakršnemu koli obdavčevanju ali kakršni koli zahtevi v zvezi s tem, ki je drugačna ali bolj obremenjujoča, kakor so ali so lahko obdavčevanje in s tem povezane zahteve do podobnih podjetij prve omenjene države. 4. Razen kadar se uporabljajo določbe prvega odstavka 9. člena, sedmega odstavka 11. člena ali šestega odstavka 12. člena, se obresti, licenčnine in avtorski honorarji ter druga izplačila, ki jih plača podjetje države pogodbenice rezidentu druge države pogodbenice, pri ugotavljanju obdavčljivega dobička takega podjetja odbijejo pod enakimi pogoji, kakor če bi bili plačani rezidentu prve omenjene države. Podobno se tudi kakršni koli dolgovi podjetja države pogodbenice rezidentu druge države pogodbenice pri ugotavljanju obdavčljivega premoženja takega podjetja odbijejo pod enakimi pogoji, kakor če bi bili pogodbeno dogovorjeni z rezidentom prve omenjene države. 5. Določbe tega člena se uporabljajo za davke iz tega sporazuma.

1. Kadar oseba meni, da imajo ali bodo imela dejanja ene ali obeh držav pogodbenic zanjo za posledico obdavčenje, ki ni v skladu z določbami tega sporazuma, lahko ne glede na pravna sredstva, ki ji jih omogoča domače pravo teh držav, predloži zadevo pristojnemu organu države pogodbenice, katere rezident je, ali če se njen primer nanaša na prvi odstavek 24. člena, tiste države pogodbenice, katere državljan je. Zadeva mora biti predložena v treh letih od prvega uradnega obvestila o dejanju, ki je imelo za posledico obdavčenje, ki ni v skladu z določbami sporazuma. 2. Če se pristojnemu organu zdi pritožba upravičena in če sam ne najde zadovoljive rešitve, si prizadeva rešiti primer s skupnim dogovorom s pristojnim organom druge države pogodbenice, da bi se izognili obdavčenju, ki ni v skladu s sporazumom. Vsak dosežen dogovor se izvaja ne glede na roke v domačem pravu držav pogodbenic. 3. Pristojna organa držav pogodbenic si prizadevata s skupnim dogovorom rešiti kakršne koli težave ali dvome, ki nastanejo pri razlagi ali uporabi sporazuma. Prav tako se lahko posvetujeta o odpravi dvojnega obdavčevanja v primerih, ki jih sporazum ne predvideva. 4. Da bi pristojna organa držav pogodbenic dosegla dogovor v skladu s prejšnjimi odstavki, se lahko dogovarjata neposredno. Pristojna organa lahko s posvetovanji vzpostavita ustrezne postopke, pogoje, metode ali načine za izvajanje postopka skupnega dogovora, določenega v tem členu.

1. Pristojna organa držav pogodbenic si izmenjavata informacije, ki so potrebne za izvajanje določb tega sporazuma ali za izvajanje ali uveljavljanje domače zakonodaje glede davkov vseh vrst in opisov, ki se uvedejo v imenu držav pogodbenic ali njunih političnih enot ali lokalnih oblasti, če obdavčevanje na njeni podlagi ni v nasprotju s tem sporazumom. Izmenjava informacij ni omejena s 1. in 2. členom. Vsaka informacija, ki jo prejme država pogodbenica, se obravnava kot tajnost enako kakor informacije, pridobljene po domači zakonodaji te države, in se razkrije samo osebam ali organom (vključno s sodišči in upravnimi organi), udeleženim pri odmeri ali pobiranju davkov, izterjavi ali pregonu ali odločanju o pritožbah glede davkov iz prvega odstavka ali nadzoru nad omenjenim. Te osebe ali organi uporabljajo informacije samo v te namene. Informacije lahko razkrijejo v javnih sodnih postopkih ali sodnih odločbah. 2. Določbe prvega odstavka se v nobenem primeru ne razlagajo, kakor da nalagajo državi pogodbenici obveznost, da: a) izvaja upravne ukrepe, ki niso v skladu z zakonodajo in upravno prakso te ali druge države pogodbenice; b) predloži informacije, ki jih ni mogoče dobiti na podlagi zakonodaje ali po običajni upravni poti te ali druge države pogodbenice; c) predloži informacije, ki bi razkrile kakršno koli trgovinsko, poslovno, industrijsko, komercialno ali poklicno skrivnost ali trgovinski postopek, ali informacije, katerih razkritje bi bilo v nasprotju z javnim redom.

THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA AND THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN Desiring to conclude an Agreement for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS: This Agreement shall apply to persons who are residents of one or both of the Contracting States. 1. This Agreement shall apply to taxes on income and on capital imposed on behalf of a Contracting State or of its political subdivisions or local authorities, irrespective of the manner in which they are levied. 2. There shall be regarded as taxes on income and on capital all taxes imposed on total income, on total capital or on elements of income or of capital, including taxes on gains from the alienation of movable or immovable property, taxes on the total amounts of wages or salaries paid by enterprises, as well as taxes on capital appreciation. 3. The existing taxes to which the Agreement shall apply are in particular: a) in the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran: (i) the income tax; and (ii) the property tax; b) in the case of the Republic of Slovenia: (i) the tax on income of legal persons; (ii) the tax on income of individuals; and (iii) the tax on property. 4. The Agreement shall apply also to any identical or substantially similar taxes that are imposed after the date of signature of the Agreement in addition to, or in place of, the existing taxes. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall notify each other within a reasonable period of any significant changes that have been made in their respective taxation laws. 1. For the purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: a) (i) the term “Islamic Republic of Iran” means the territory under the sovereignty and/or jurisdiction of the Islamic Republic of Iran; (ii) the term “Slovenia” means the Republic of Slovenia and, when used in a geographical sense, means the territory of Slovenia as well as those maritime areas over which Slovenia may exercise sovereign or jurisdictional rights in accordance with its internal legislation and international law; b) the terms “a Contracting State” and “the other Contracting State” mean Islamic Republic of Iran or Slovenia, as the context requires; c) the term “person” includes: (i) an individual, (ii) a company or any other body of persons; d) the term “company” means any body corporate or any entity that is treated as a body corporate for tax purposes; e) the terms “enterprise of a Contracting State” and “enterprise of the other Contracting State” mean respectively an enterprise carried on by a resident of a Contracting State and an enterprise carried on by a resident of the other Contracting State; f) the term “international traffic” means any transport by a ship, aircraft or road vehicle operated by an enterprise of a Contracting State, except when the ship, aircraft or road vehicle is operated solely between places in the other Contracting State; g) the term “competent authority” means: (i) in the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran: the Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance or his authorized representative; (ii) in the case of Slovenia: the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Slovenia or its authorized representative; h) the term “national”, in relation to a Contracting State, means: (i) any individual possessing the nationality of that Contracting State; (ii) any legal person, partnership or association deriving its status as such from the laws in force in that Contracting State. 2. As regards the application of the Agreement at any time by a Contracting State, any term not defined therein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meaning that it has at that time under the law of that State for the purposes of the taxes to which the Agreement applies, any meaning under the applicable tax laws of that State prevailing over a meaning given to the term under other laws of that State. 1. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “resident of a Contracting State” means any person who under the laws of that State is liable to tax therein by reason of his residence, domicile, place of registration, place of management, or any other criterion of a similar nature, and also includes that State and any political subdivision or local authority thereof. This term, however, does not include any person who is liable to tax in that State in respect only of income from sources in that State or capital situated therein. 2. Where by reason of the provisions of paragraph 1, an individual is a resident of both Contracting States, then his status shall be determined as follows: a) he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State in which he has a permanent home available to him. If he has a permanent home available to him in both States, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State with which his personal and economic relations are closer (center of vital interests); b) if the State in which he has his center of vital interests cannot be determined, or if he has not a permanent home available to him in either State, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State in which he has an habitual abode; c) if he has an habitual abode in both States or in neither of them, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State of which he is a national; d) if his status can not be determined under the provisions of subparagraph c), the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall settle the question by mutual agreement. 3. Where by reason of the provisions of paragraph 1 a person other than an individual is a resident of both Contracting States, then the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall settle the question by mutual agreement and determine the mode of application of the Agreement to such person. 1. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “permanent establishment” means a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is wholly or partly carried on. 2. The term “permanent establishment” includes especially: a) place of management; b) a branch; c) an office; d) a factory; e) a workshop; and f) a mine, an oil or gas well, a quarry or any other place of exploration, exploitation and/or extraction of natural resources. 3. A building site, a construction, assembly or installation project or supervisory activities connected therewith, constitutes a permanent establishment only if such site, project or activities last in the territory of a Contracting State for a period of more than 9 months. 4. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, the term “permanent establishment” shall be deemed not to include: a) the use of facilities solely for the purpose of storage or display of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise; b) the maintenance of a stock of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise solely for the purpose of storage or display; c) the maintenance of a stock of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise solely for the purpose of processing by another enterprise; d) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of purchasing goods or merchandise or of collecting information, for the enterprise; e) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of carrying on, for the enterprise, any other activity of a preparatory or auxiliary character; f) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for any combination of activities mentioned in subparagraphs a) to e), provided that the overall activity of the fixed place of business resulting from this combination is of a preparatory or auxiliary character. 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, where a person (other than an agent of an independent status to whom paragraph 6 applies) is acting on behalf of an enterprise and has, and habitually exercises, in a Contracting State an authority to conclude contracts in the name of the enterprise, that enterprise shall be deemed to have a permanent establishment in that State in respect of any activities which that person undertakes for the enterprise unless the activities of such person are limited to those mentioned in paragraph 4 which, if exercised through a fixed place of business would not make this fixed place of business a permanent establishment under the provisions of that paragraph. 6. An enterprise shall not be deemed to have a permanent establishment in a Contracting State merely because it carries on business in that State through a broker, general commission agent or any other agent of an independent status, provided that such persons are acting in the ordinary course of their business. However, when the activities of such an agent are devoted wholly or almost wholly on behalf of that enterprise, and conditions are made or imposed between that enterprise and the agent in their commercial and financial relations which differ from those which would have been made between independent enterprises, he will not be considered an agent of an independent status within the meaning of this paragraph. 7. The fact that a company which is a resident of a Contracting State controls or is controlled by a company which is a resident of the other Contracting State, or which carries on business in that other State (whether through a permanent establishment or otherwise), shall not of itself constitute either company a permanent establishment of the other. 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State from immovable property (including income from agriculture or forestry) situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. The term “immovable property” shall have the meaning which it has under the law of the Contracting State in which the property in question is situated. The term shall in any case include property accessory to immovable property, livestock and equipment used in agriculture and forestry, rights to which the provisions of general law respecting landed property apply, usufruct of immovable property and rights to variable or fixed payments as consideration for the working of, or the right to work, mineral deposits, sources and other natural resources including oil, gas and quarries. Ships, boats, aircraft, or road and railway vehicles shall not be regarded as immovable property. 3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply to income derived from the direct use, letting, or use in any other form of immovable property. 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 3 shall also apply to the income from immovable property of an enterprise and to the income from immovable property used for the performance of independent personal services. 1. The profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that State unless the enterprise carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on business as aforesaid, the profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other State but only so much of them as is attributable to that permanent establishment. 2. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, where an enterprise of a Contracting State carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein, there shall in each Contracting State be attributed to that permanent establishment the profits which it might be expected to make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in the same or similar activities, under the same or similar conditions and dealing wholly independently with the enterprise of which it is a permanent establishment. 3. In determining the profits of a permanent establishment, there shall be allowed as deductions expenses which are incurred for the purposes of the permanent establishment, including executive and general administrative expenses so incurred, whether in the State in which the permanent establishment is situated or elsewhere. 4. Insofar as it has been customary in a Contracting State to determine the profits to be attributed to a permanent establishment on the basis of an apportionment of the total profits of the enterprise to its various parts, nothing in paragraph 2 shall preclude that Contracting State from determining the profits to be taxed by such an apportionment as may be customary. The method of apportionment adopted shall, however, be such that the result shall be in accordance with the principles contained in this Article. 5. No profits shall be attributed to a permanent establishment by reason of the mere purchase by that permanent establishment of goods or merchandise for the enterprise. 6. For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs, the profits to be attributed to the permanent establishment shall be determined by the same method year by year unless there is good and sufficient reason to the contrary. 7. Where profits include items of income which are dealt with separately in other Articles of this Agreement, then the provisions of those Articles shall not be affected by the provisions of this Article. 1. Profits derived by an enterprise of a Contracting State from the operation of ships, aircraft or road vehicles in international traffic shall be taxable only in that Contracting State. 2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall also apply to profits derived by an enterprise of a Contracting State from the participation in a pool, a joint business or an international operating agency, but only to so much of the profits so derived as is attributable to the participant in proportion to its share in the joint operation. 1. Where a) an enterprise of a Contracting State participates directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of the other Contracting State, or b) the same persons participate directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of a Contracting State and an enterprise of the other Contracting State, and in either case conditions are made or imposed between the two enterprises in their commercial or financial relations which differ from those which would be made between independent enterprises, then any profits which would, but for those conditions, have accrued to one of the enterprises, but, by reason of those conditions, have not so accrued, may be included in the profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly. 2. Where a Contracting State includes in the profits of an enterprise of that State – and taxes accordingly – profits on which an enterprise of the other Contracting State has been charged to tax in that other State and the profits so included are profits which would have accrued to the enterprise of the first-mentioned State if the conditions made between the two enterprises had been those which would have been made between independent enterprises, then that other State may make an appropriate adjustment to the amount of the tax charged therein on those profits. In determining such adjustment, due regard shall be had to the other provisions of this Agreement and the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall if necessary consult each other. 1. Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other Contracting State the tax so charged shall not exceed 7 percent of the gross amount of the dividends. This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid. 3. The term “dividends” as used in this Article means income from shares, “jouissance” shares or “jouissance” rights, founders' shares or other rights, not being debt-claims, participating in profits, as well as income from other corporate rights which is subjected to the same taxation treatment as income from shares by the laws of the State of which the company making the distribution is a resident. 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the dividends, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other Contracting State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply. 5. Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State, that other State may not impose any tax on the dividends paid by the company, except insofar as such dividends are paid to a resident of that other State or insofar as the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in that other State, nor subject the company's undistributed profits to a tax on the company's undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income arising in such other State. 1. Interest arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such interest may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which it arises and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the interest is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed 5 percent of the gross amount of the interest. 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, interest arising in the Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State who is the beneficial owner thereof shall be taxable only in that other State to the extent that such interest is paid: a) to the Government of the other Contracting State, a political subdivision or a local authority thereof, or to the Central Bank of the other Contracting State; b) in connection with the sale on credit of any industrial, commercial or scientific equipment; c) in connection with the sale on credit of any merchandise by one enterprise to another enterprise. 4. The term “interest” as used in this Article means income from debt-claims of every kind, whether or not secured by mortgage and whether or not carrying a right to participate in the debtor's profits, and in particular, income from government securities and income from bonds or debentures, including premiums and prizes attaching to such securities, bonds or debentures. Penalty charges for late payment shall not be regarded as interest for the purpose of this Article. 5. The provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the interest, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in which the interest arises, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other Contracting State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the debt-claim in respect of which the interest is paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply. 6. Interest shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is a resident of that State. Where, however, the person paying the interest, 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 indebtedness on which the interest is paid was incurred, and such interest is borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such interest shall be deemed to arise in the State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 7. 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 interest, having regard to the debt-claim for which it is 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. 1. Royalties arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such royalties may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise, and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the royalties is a resident of the other Contracting State the tax so charged shall not exceed 5 percent of the gross amount of the royalties. 3. The term “royalties” as used in this Article 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 including cinematographic films and recordings for radio and television, any patent, trade mark, design or model, plan, secret formula or process, or for the use of, or the right to use, industrial, commercial or scientific equipment or for information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience. 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, 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 Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply. 5. Royalties shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is a resident of that 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 State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 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. 1. Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of immovable property referred to in Article 6 and situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. Gains from the alienation of movable property forming part of the business property of a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State or of movable property pertaining to a fixed base available to a resident of a Contracting State in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing independent personal services, including such gains from the alienation of such a permanent establishment (alone or with the whole enterprise) or of such fixed base, may be taxed in that other State. 3. Gains derived by an enterprise of a Contracting State from the alienation of ships, aircraft or road vehicles operated in international traffic or movable property pertaining to the operation of such ships, aircraft or road vehicles shall be taxable only in that State. 4. Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of shares deriving more than 50 per cent of their value directly or indirectly from immovable property situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 5. Gains from the alienation of any property other than that referred to in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which the alienator is a resident. 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of professional services or other activities of an independent character shall be taxable only in that State unless he has a fixed base regularly available to him in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing his activities. If he has such a fixed base, the income may be taxed in the other Contracting State but only so much of it as is attributable to that fixed base. 2. The term “professional services” includes especially independent scientific, literary, artistic, educational or teaching activities as well as the independent activities of physicians, engineers, lawyers, architects, dentists and accountants. 1. Subject to the provisions of Articles 16, 18, 19 and 20, salaries, wages and other similar remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment shall be taxable only in that State unless the employment is exercised in the other Contracting State. If the employment is so exercised, such remuneration as is derived therefrom may be taxed in that other State. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment exercised in the other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State if: a) the recipient is present in the other State for a period or periods not exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in any twelve month period commencing or ending in the fiscal year concerned, and b) the remuneration is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of the other State, and c) the remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment or a fixed base, which the employer has in the other State. 3. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, remuneration derived in respect of an employment exercised aboard a ship, aircraft or road vehicles operated in international traffic by an enterprise of a Contracting State, shall be taxable only in that Contracting State. However, if the remuneration is derived by a resident of the other Contracting State, it may also be taxed in that other State. Directors' fees and other similar payments derived by a resident of a Contracting State in his capacity as a member of the board of directors or of a similar organ of a company which is a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 14 and 15, income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an entertainer, such as a theater, motion picture, radio or television artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman from his personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State. 2. Where income in respect of personal activities exercised by an entertainer or a sportsman in his capacity as such accrues not to the entertainer or sportsman himself but to another person, that income may notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7, 14 and 15, be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are exercised. 3. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to the income derived by an entertainer or a sportsman from the activities performed within the framework of the cultural agreement concluded between the Contracting States. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 19, pensions and other similar remuneration paid to a resident of a Contracting State in consideration of past employment shall be taxable only in that State. 1. a) Salaries, wages and other similar remuneration, other than a pension, paid by a Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof to an individual in respect of services rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority shall be taxable only in that State. b) However, such salaries, wages and other similar remuneration shall be taxable only in the other Contracting State if the services are rendered in that State and the individual is a resident of that State who: (i) is a national of that State, or (ii) did not become a resident of that State solely for the purpose of rendering the services. 2. Any pension paid by, or out of funds created by, a Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof to an individual in respect of services rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority shall be taxable only in that State. 3. The provisions of Articles 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall apply to salaries, wages and other similar remuneration and pensions in respect of services rendered in connection with a business carried on by a Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof. 1. Payments which a student or business apprentice who is or was immediately before visiting a Contracting State a resident of the other Contracting State and who is present in the first-mentioned State solely for the purpose of his education or training receives for the purpose of his maintenance, education or training shall not be taxed in that State, provided that such payments arise from sources outside that State. 2. An individual who is a resident of a Contracting State immediately before making a visit to the other Contracting State, and who, at the invitation of any university, college, school or other similar educational institution, which is established in accordance with the laws of the other Contracting State, visits the other Contracting State for a period not exceeding two years solely for the purpose of teaching or research or both at such educational institution shall be exempt from tax in the other Contracting State on his remuneration for such teaching or research. 3. The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply to income from teaching or research if such teaching or research is undertaken not in the public interest but primarily for the private benefit of a specific person or persons. 1. Items of income of a resident of a Contracting State, wherever arising, not dealt with in the forgoing Articles of this Agreement shall be taxable only in that State. 2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply to income, other than income from immovable property as defined in paragraph 2 of Article 6, if the recipient of such income, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein and the right or property in respect of which the income is paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply. 1. Capital represented by immovable property referred to in Article 6, owned by a resident of a Contracting State and situated in the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State. 2. Capital represented by movable property forming part of the business property of a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State or by movable property pertaining to a fixed base available to a resident of a Contracting State in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing independent personal services, may be taxed in that other Contracting State. 3. Capital represented by ships, aircraft and road vehicles operated in international traffic by an enterprise of a Contracting State, and by movable property pertaining to the operation of such ships, aircraft and road vehicles, shall be taxable only in that Contracting State. 4. All other elements of capital of a resident of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that State. 1. Where a resident of a Contracting State derives income or owns capital which, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may be taxed in the other Contracting State, the first-mentioned State shall allow: a) as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the income tax paid in that other Contracting State; b) as a deduction from the tax on the capital of that resident, an amount equal to the capital tax paid in that other Contracting State. Such deduction in either case shall not, however, exceed that part of the income tax or capital tax as computed before the deduction is given, which is attributable, as the case may be, to the income or the capital which may be taxed in that other State. 2. Where in accordance with any provision of the Agreement income derived or capital owned by a resident of a Contracting State is exempt from tax in that State, such State may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on the remaining income or capital of such resident, take into account the exempted income or capital. 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 maybe subjected. This provision shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1, also apply to persons who are not residents of one or both of the Contracting States. 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 State than the taxation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the same activities. This provision shall not be construed as obliging a Contracting State to grant to residents of the other Contracting State any personal allowances, reliefs and reductions for taxation purposes on account of personal status or family responsibilities which it grants to its own residents. 3. 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 burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned State are or may be subjected. 4. Except where the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 9, paragraph 7 of Article 11, or paragraph 6 of Article 12 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. The provisions of this Article shall apply to taxes covered by this Agreement. 1. Where a person considers that the actions of one or both of the Contracting States result or will result for him in taxation not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, he may, irrespective of the remedies provided by the domestic law of those States, present his case to the competent authority of the Contracting State of which he is a resident or, if his case comes under paragraph 1 of Article 24 to that of the Contracting State of which he is a national. The case must be presented within three years from the first notification of the action resulting in taxation not in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. 2. 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 by mutual agreement with the competent authority of the other Contracting State, with a view to the avoidance of taxation which is not in accordance with the Agreement. Any agreement reached shall be implemented notwithstanding any time limits in the domestic law of the Contracting States. 3. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall endeavor to resolve by mutual agreement any difficulties or doubts arising as to the interpretation or application of the Agreement. They may also consult together for the elimination of double taxation in cases not provided for in the Agreement. 4. The competent authorities of the Contracting States may communicate with each other directly for the purpose of reaching an agreement in the sense of the preceding paragraphs. The competent authorities, through consultations, shall develop appropriate procedures, conditions, methods and techniques for the implementation of the mutual agreement procedure provided for in this Article. 1. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall exchange such information as is necessary for carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or to the administration or enforcement of the domestic laws concerning taxes of every kind and description imposed on behalf of the Contracting States, or of their political subdivisions or local authorities, insofar as the taxation thereunder is not contrary to the Agreement. The exchange of information is not restricted by Articles 1 and 2. Any information received by a Contracting State shall be treated as secret in the same manner as information obtained under the domestic laws of that Contracting State and shall be disclosed only to persons or authorities (including courts and administrative bodies) concerned with the assessment or collection of, the enforcement or prosecution in respect of, or the determination of appeals in relation to the taxes referred to in this paragraph, or the oversight of the above. Such persons or authorities shall use the information only for such purposes. They may disclose the information in public court proceedings or in judicial decisions. 2. In no case shall the provisions of paragraph 1 be construed so as to impose on a Contracting State the obligation: a) to carry out administrative measures at variance with the laws and administrative practice of that or of the other Contracting State; b) to supply information which is not obtainable under the laws or in the normal course of the administration of that or of the other Contracting State; c) to supply information which would disclose any trade, business, industrial, commercial or professional secret or trade process, or information the disclosure of which would be contrary to public policy (ordre public). Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the fiscal privileges of members of diplomatic missions or consular posts under the general rules of international law or under the provisions of special agreements. 1.

The Contracting States shall notify each other in writing, through diplomatic channels, that the procedures required by its law for the entry into force of this Agreement have been satisfied.
