Article 11 limits source taxation of interest paid to a resident beneficial owner by capping withholding tax, provides a lower cap for resident banks, exempts interest beneficially owned by governments and central banks, defines interest to include income from debt-claims, excludes late-payment penalties, disapplies the withholding limitation where interest is effectively connected to a permanent establishment or fixed base (deferring to business or independent services rules), and requires arm's-length adjustment where related-party relationships inflate interest.
