Definitions identify royalties and fees for technical services, and exceptions apply where the beneficial owner carries on business through a permanent establishment or fixed base in the source State, in which case business profits or independent personal services provisions govern. Deemed-source rules, attribution to a permanent establishment or fixed base, and arm's-length adjustments for related-party pricing are provided.
