Article 23 - Methods of elimination of double taxation - RussiaExtract ARTICLE 23 METHODS OF ELIMINATION OF DOUBLE TAXATION 1. In the case of Russia, double taxation is eliminated as follows: where a resident of Russia derives income which, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may be taxed in India, the amount of tax on that income payable in India may be credited against the tax imposed on that resident of Russia. The amount of credit, however, shall not exceed the amount of the tax on that income computed in accordance with the taxation laws and regulations of Russia. 2. In the case of India, double taxation is eliminated as follows: where a resident of India derives income which, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may be taxed in Russia, India shall allow as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident an amount equal to the income-tax paid in Russia whether directly or by deduction at source. Such deduction in either case shall not, however, exceed that part of the income-tax (as computed before the deduction is given) which is attributable to the income which may be taxed in Russia. 3. For the purposes of this Article the term tax paid or payable as mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article shall be deemed to include the tax which would have been paid but for any exemption or reduction of tax granted under incentive provisions contained in the law of a Contracting State designed to promote economic development to the extent that such exemption or reduction is granted for profits from industrial, construction, manufacturing or agricultural activities provided that the activities have been carried out within the Contracting State. The competent authorities may agree to extend the application of this provision also to other activities. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only for the first ten years during which this Agreement is effective. This period may be extended by a mutual agreement between the competent authorities.
