ARTICLE 16

Entertainers and Sportspersons

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 14, 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 sportsperson, 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 sportsperson in his capacity as such accrues not to the entertainer or sportsperson himself but to another person, that income may, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 14, be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsperson are exercised.

(3) The provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to income derived by a resident of a Contracting State from activities exercised in the other Contracting State, if the visit to that other State is financed for more than 50 per cent from public funds of one or both of the Contracting States, a "Land", a political subdivision or a local authority of one or both of the Contracting States or a "Land" or by an organisation which in one of the Contracting States is recognised as a charitable organisation, or takes place under a cultural agreement between the Governments of the Contracting States. In such a case, the income shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which the entertainer or sportsperson is a resident.
