Payments described as royalties and fees for technical services may be taxed by the source state but, if received by the beneficial owner, source taxation shall not exceed a ten per cent withholding rate. The Article defines royalties and fees for technical services, excludes services covered elsewhere, and provides that source-state withholding does not apply where the beneficial owner's payments are effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base in the source state, in which case Article 7 or Article 14 applies.
