Article 29 - Diplomatic and Consular Officials - UKraineExtract ARTICLE 29 DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR OFFICIALS Nothing in this Convention shall affect the fiscal privileges of diplomatic or consular officials under the general rules of international law or under the provisions of special agreements. The following paragraphs 1 to 3 of Article 10 of the MLI applies and supersedes the provisions of this Convention: ARTICLE 10 OF THE MLI ANTI-ABUSE RULE FOR PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT SITUATED IN THIRD JURISDICTIONS Paragraph 1 of Article 10 of the MLI Where: a. an enterprise of a [Contracting State] derives income from the other [Contracting State] and the first-mentioned [Contracting State] treats such income as attributable to a permanent establishment of the enterprise situated in a third jurisdiction; and b. the profits attributable to that permanent establishment are exempt from tax in the first-mentioned [Contracting State], the benefits of [the Convention] shall not apply to any item of income on which the tax in the third jurisdiction is less than 60 per cent of the tax that would be imposed in the first-mentioned [Contracting State] on that item of income if that permanent establishment were situated in the first-mentioned [Contracting State]. In such a case, any income to which the provisions of this paragraph apply shall remain taxable according to the domestic law of the other [Contracting State], notwithstanding any other provisions of [the Convention]. Paragraph 2 of Article 10 of the MLI Paragraph 1 [of Article 10 of the MLI] shall not apply if the income derived from the other [Contracting State] described in paragraph 1 [of Article 10 of the MLI] is derived in connection with or is incidental to the active conduct of a business carried on through the permanent establishment (other than the business of making, managing or simply holding investments for the enterprise s own account, unless these activities are banking, insurance or securities activities carried on by a bank, insurance enterprise or registered securities dealer, respectively). Paragraph 3 of Article 10 of the MLI If benefits under [the Convention] are denied pursuant to paragraph 1 [of Article 10 of the MLI] with respect to an item of income derived by a resident of a [Contracting State], the competent authority of the other [Contracting State] may, nevertheless, grant these benefits with respect to that item of income if, in response to a request by such resident, such competent authority determines that granting such benefits is justified in light of the reasons such resident did not satisfy the requirements of paragraphs 1 and 2 [of Article 10 of the MLI]. The competent authority of the [Contracting State] to which a request has been made under the preceding sentence by a resident of the other [Contracting State] shall consult with the competent authority of that other [Contracting State] before either granting or denying the request. The following paragraph 1 of Article 7 of the MLI applies and supersedes the provisions of this Convention: ARTICLE 7 OF THE MLI PREVENTION OF TREATY ABUSE (Principal Purposes Test provision) Notwithstanding any provisions of [the Convention], a benefit under [the Convention] shall not be granted in respect of an item of income or capital if it is reasonable to conclude, having regard to all relevant facts and circumstances, that obtaining that benefit was one of the principal purposes of any arrangement or transaction that resulted directly or indirectly in that benefit, unless it is established that granting that benefit in these circumstances would be in accordance with the object and purpose of the relevant provisions of [the Convention].
