ARTICLE 17

ARTISTES AND SPORTSMEN

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7, 14 and 15, income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an entertainer, such as a theatre, motion picture, radio or television artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman, from his personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State.

(2) Where income in respect of personal activities exercised by an entertainer or a sportsman in his capacity as such accrues not to the entertainer or sportsman himself but to another person, that income may, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7, 14 and 15, be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are exercised.

(3) The provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to income accruing from the exercise of activities by entertainers or sportsmen in a Contracting State where the visit to that State is financed entirely or mainly from public funds of the other State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof or by an organisation recognised in that other State as a charitable organisation. In such case the income shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which the entertainer or sportsman is a resident.
