Article 24 - Methods For Elimination Of Double Taxation - Kenya

ARTICLE 24 METHODS FOR ELIMINATION OF DOUBLE TAXATION 1. The laws in force in either of the Contracting States will continue to govern the taxation of income in the respective Contracting States except where provisions to the contrary are made in this Agreement. 2. Double taxation shall be eliminated in India as follows: a) Where a resident of India derives income which, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may be taxed in Kenya, India shall allow as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the tax paid in Kenya. Such deduction shall not, however, exceed that portion of the tax as computed before the deduction is given, which is attributable, as the case may be, to the income which may be taxed in Kenya. b) Where in accordance with any provision of the Agreement income derived by a resident of India is exempt from tax in India, India may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on the remaining income of such resident, take into account the exempted income. 3. Double taxation shall be eliminated in Kenya as follows: a) Where a resident of Kenya derives income which, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may be taxed in India, Kenya shall allow as a credit against the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the tax paid in India. Such credit shall not, however, exceed that portion of the tax as computed before the credit is given, which is attributable, as the case may be, to the income which may be taxed in India. b) Where in accordance with any provision of the Agreement, income derived by a resident of Kenya is exempt from tax in Kenya, Kenya may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on the remaining income of such resident, take into account the exempted income.
