Dividend withholding cap limits source-state tax where recipient is beneficial owner; PE or fixed-base connections are exceptions. Dividends paid by a resident company to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in the recipient's State, while the company's State may also tax those dividends subject to a specified withholding cap where the recipient is the beneficial owner. 'Dividends' includes income from shares and similar profit-participating corporate rights. The withholding limitation does not apply if the beneficial owner's holding is effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base in the source State, in which case rules on business profits or independent personal services apply, and the source State may not tax undistributed profits.
