Article 7 BUSINESS PROFITS 第七条 营业利润

 
 1. The profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that State unless the enterprise carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on business as aforesaid, the profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other State but only so much of them as is attributable to that permanent establishment. 一、缔约国一方企业的利润应仅在该缔约国征税,但该企业通过设在缔约国另一方的常设机构在缔约国另一方进行营业的除外。如果该企业通过设在缔约国另一方的常设机构在缔约国另一方进行营业,则其利润可以在缔约国另一方征税,但应仅以归属于该常设机构的利润为限。

 
 2. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, where an enterprise of a Contracting State carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein, there shall in each Contracting State be attributed to that permanent establishment the profits which it might be expected to make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in the same or similar activities under the same or similar conditions and dealing wholly independently with the enterprise of which it is a permanent establishment. 二、除适用第三款的规定以外,缔约国一方企业通过设在缔约国另一方的常设机构在缔约国另一方进行营业,应将该常设机构视同在相同或类似情况下从事相同或类似活动的独立分设企业,并同该常设机构所隶属的企业完全独立处理,该常设机构可能得到的利润在缔约国各方应归属于该常设机构。

In determining the profits of a permanent establishment, there shall be allowed as deductions expenses which are incurred for the purposes of the permanent establishment, including executive and general administrative expenses so incurred, whether in the State in which the permanent establishment is situated or elsewhere. 三、在确定常设机构的利润时,应当允许扣除为常设机构发生的各项费用,包括行政和一般管理费用,不论其发生于该常设机构所在国还是其他地方。

 
 4. Insofar as it has been customary in a Contracting State to determine the profits to be attributed to a permanent establishment on the basis of an apportionment of the total profits of the enterprise to its various parts, nothing in paragraph 2 shall preclude that Contracting State from determining the profits to be taxed by such an apportionment as may be customary. The method of apportionment adopted shall, however, be such that the result shall be in accordance with the principles contained in this Article. 四、如果缔约国一方习惯于以企业总利润按一定比例分配给所属各单位的方法来确定常设机构的利润,则第二款规定并不妨碍该缔约国一方按这种习惯分配方法确定其应税利润。但是,采用的分配方法所得到的结果,应与本条所规定的原则一致。

 
 5. No profits shall be attributed to a permanent establishment by reason of the mere purchase by that permanent establishment of goods or merchandise for the enterprise. 五、不应仅由于常设机构为本企业采购货物或商品,而将利润归属于该常设机构。

 
 6. For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs, the profits to be attributed to the permanent establishment shall be determined by the same method year by year unless there is good and sufficient reason to the contrary. 六、在执行上述各款时,除有适当的和充分的理由需要变动外,每年应采用相同的方法确定归属于常设机构的利润。

Article 9 ASSOCIATED ENTERPRISES 第九条 关联企业

 
 1. Where: 一、在下列任何一种情况下:

 
a) an enterprise of a Contracting State participates directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of the other Contracting State, or (一)缔约国一方企业直接或者间接参与缔约国另一方企业的管理、控制或资本,或者

 
b) the same persons participate directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of a Contracting State and an enterprise of the other Contracting State, and in either case conditions are made or imposed between the two enterprises in their commercial or financial relations which differ from those which would be made between independent enterprises, then any profits which would, but for those conditions, have accrued to one of the enterprises, but, by reason of those conditions, have not so accrued, may be included in the profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly. (二)相同的人直接或者间接参与缔约国一方企业和缔约国另一方企业的管理、控制或资本,两个企业之间商业或财务关系的构成条件不同于独立企业之间商业或财务关系的构成条件,并且由于这些条件的存在,导致其中一个企业没有取得其本应取得的利润,则可以将这部分利润计入该企业的所得,并据以征税。

 
 2. Where a Contracting State includes in the profits of an enterprise of that State - and taxes accordingly - profits on which an enterprise of the other Contracting State has been charged to tax in that other State and the profits so included are profits which would have accrued to the enterprise of the first-mentioned State if the conditions made between the two enterprises had been those which would have been made between independent enterprises, then that other State shall make an appropriate adjustment to the amount of the tax charged therein on those profits. In determining such adjustment, due regard shall be had to the other provisions of this Agreement and the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall if necessary consult each other. 二、缔约国一方将缔约国另一方已征税的企业利润--在两个企业之间的关系是独立企业之间关系的情况下,这部分利润本应由该缔约国一方企业取得--包括在该缔约国一方企业的利润内征税时,缔约国另一方应对这部分利润所征收的税额加以调整。在确定调整时,应对本协定其他规定予以注意。如有必要,缔约国双方主管当局应相互协商。
