Taxation of cross-border interest: source taxing rights limited by reduced withholding and connections to permanent establishments. Cross-border interest may be taxed in the recipient's residence State, while the source State may also tax interest but with a reduced withholding where the recipient is the beneficial owner. Governmental and specified public bank recipients are exempt in the source State when beneficially owned. Interest is broadly defined to include income from debt-claims and related premiums; penalties for late payment are excluded. The reduced withholding does not apply if the beneficial owner has a permanent establishment or fixed base in the source State and the debt is effectively connected; in that case business profits or independent personal services rules govern. Interest is sourced to the payer's State, with arm's-length adjustments where special relationships inflate payments.
