Interest taxation: source state may tax, but reduced withholding and exemptions apply for beneficial owners and approved transactions.
Article 11 sets the treaty rule that interest arising in a Contracting State may be taxed in the recipient's State but may also be taxed in the source State with a reduced withholding when the recipient is the beneficial owner; specified governmental and certain bank owners are exempt, and government approval can extend exemptions. Interest connected to a permanent establishment or fixed base is governed by business profits or independent services rules, and non arm's length excess interest remains taxable under domestic law.
