Article 25 - Elimination of double taxation - Montenegro

ARTICLE 25 ELIMINATION OF DOUBLE TAXATION 1. Where a resident of a Contracting State derives income or owns capital which, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, may be taxed in the other Contracting State, the first-mentioned State shall allow: - as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the income tax paid in that other State; - as a deduction from the tax on the capital of that resident, an amount equal to the capital tax paid in that other State. Such deduction in either case shall not, however, exceed that part of the income tax or capital tax, as computed before the deduction is given, which is attributable, as the case may be, to the income or the capital which may taxed in that other State. 2. Where in accordance with any provision of the Convention income derived or capital owned by a resident of Contracting State is exempt from tax in that State, such State may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on the remaining income or capital of such resident, take into account the exempted income or capital. 3. For the purpose of allowance as a credit in a Contracting State the tax paid in the other Contracting State shall be deemed to include the tax which is otherwise payable in that other State but has been reduced or waived by that State under its legal provisions for tax incentives. 4. For the purposes of this Article, the term tax paid shall not include any amount which is payable in respect of any default or omission in relation to taxes to which this Convention applies.
