Article 4 RESIDENCE 1. For the purposes of this Convention, the term "resident of a Contracting State" means any person who, under the laws of that State, is liable to tax therein by reason of his domicile, residence, citizenship, place of management, place of incorporation, or any other criterion of a similar nature, and also includes that State and any political subdivision or local authority thereof and any agency or instrumentality of such State, but does not include any person who is liable to tax in that State in respect only of income from sources in that State or of capital situated therein. 2. Where by reason of the provisions of paragraph 1, an individual is a resident of both Contracting States, then his status shall be determined as follows: a) he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State in which he has a permanent home available to him; if he has a permanent home available to him in both States, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State with which his personal and economic relations are closer (center of vital interests); b) if the State in which he has his center of vital interests cannot be determined, or if he does not have a permanent home available to him

If the competent authorities do not reach such an agreement, that person shall not be entitled to claim any benefit provided by this Convention, except those provided by Article 26 (Mutual Agreement Procedure). Article 5 PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT 1. For the purposes of this Convention, the term "permanent establishment" means a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is wholly or partly carried on. 2. The term "permanent establishment" includes especially: a) a place of management; b) a branch; c) an office; d) a factory; e) a workshop; and f) a mine, an oil or gas well, a quarry, or any other place of extraction or exploitation of natural resources. 3.

For the purposes of computing the time limits in this paragraph, activities carried on by an enterprise associated with another enterprise, within the meaning of Article 9 (Associated Enterprises), shall be regarded as carried on by the lastmentioned enterprise if the activities of both enterprises are substantially the same, unless they are carried on simultaneously. 4. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, the term "permanent establishment" shall be deemed not to include: a) the use of facilities solely for the purpose of storage, display or delivery of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise; b) the maintenance of a stock of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise solely for the purpose of storage, display or delivery; c) the maintenance of a stock of goods or merchandise belonging to the enterprise solely for the purpose of processing by another enterprise; d) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of purchasing goods or merchandise, or of collecting information, for the enterprise; e) the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of advertising, supplying information or carrying out scientific research for the enterprise and any other similar activity, if such activity is of a preparatory or auxiliary character. 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, where a person -- other than an agent of an independent status to whom paragraph 6 applies -- is acting on behalf of an enterprise and has and habitually exercises in a Contracting State an authority to conclude contracts that are binding on the enterprise, that enterprise shall be deemed to have a permanent establishment in that State in respect of any activities that the person undertakes for the enterprise, unless the activities of such person are limited to those mentioned in paragraph 4 that, if exercised through a fixed place of business, would not make this fixed place of business a permanent establishment under the provisions of that paragraph. 6. An enterprise shall not be deemed to have a permanent establishment in a Contracting State merely because it carries on business in that State through a broker, general commission agent, or any other agent of an independent status, provided that such persons are acting in the ordinary course of their business as independent agents. 7. The fact that a company that is a resident of a Contracting State controls or is controlled by a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State, or
6 that carries on business in that other State (whether through a permanent establishment or otherwise), shall not of itself constitute either company a permanent establishment of the other. III. TAXATION OF INCOME Article 6 INCOME FROM REAL PROPERTY (IMMOVABLE PROPERTY) 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State from real property (immovable property), including income from agriculture or forestry, situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. For purposes of this Convention, except as otherwise provided, the term "real property (immovable property) shall have the meaning which it has under the law of the Contracting State in which the property in question is situated. The term shall in any case include property accessory to real property (immovable property), livestock and equipment used in agriculture and forestry, rights to which the provisions of general law respecting landed property apply, usufruct of real property (immovable property) and rights to variable or fixed payments as consideration for the working of, or the right to work, mineral deposits, sources and other natural resources. Ships, aircraft and containers shall not be regarded as real property (immovable property). 3. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply to income derived from the direct use, letting, or use in any other form of real property (immovable property). 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 3 shall also apply to the income from real property of an enterprise and to income from real property (immovable property) used for the performance of independent personal services. Article 7 BUSINESS PROFITS 1. The business profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that State unless the enterprise carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on business as aforesaid, the business profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other State but only so much of them as are attributable to that permanent establishment. 2. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, where an enterprise of a Contracting State carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein, there shall in each Contracting State be attributed to that permanent establishment the business profits that it might be expected to make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in the same
7 or similar activities under the same or similar conditions and dealing wholly independently with the enterprise of which it is a permanent establishment. 3. In determining the business profits of a permanent establishment, there shall be allowed as deductions necessary expenses that are incurred for the purposes of the permanent establishment, including a reasonable allocation of executive and general administrative expenses, research and development expenses, interest, and other expenses incurred for the purposes of the enterprise as a whole (or the part thereof which includes the permanent establishment), whether incurred in the State in which the permanent establishment is situated or elsewhere. 4. No business profits shall be attributed to a permanent establishment by reason of the mere purchase by that permanent establishment of goods or merchandise for the enterprise. 5. For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs, the profits to be attributed to the permanent establishment shall be determined by the same method year by year unless there is good and sufficient reason to the contrary. 6. Where business profits include items of income that are dealt with separately in other Articles of the Convention, then the provisions of those Articles shall not be affected by the provisions of this Article. 7. Any income or gain attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base during its existence is taxable in the Contracting State where such permanent establishment or fixed base is situated even if the payments are deferred until such permanent establishment or fixed base has ceased to exist. 8. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, in the absence of a permanent establishment, the United States may impose its excise tax on insurance premiums paid to foreign insurers and Chile may impose its tax on payments for insurance policies contracted with foreign insurers. However, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2 (Taxes Covered), the tax so charged shall not exceed: a) 2 percent of the gross amount of the premiums in the case of policies of reinsurance; and b) 5 percent of the gross amount of the premiums in the case of all other policies of insurance. 9. For the purposes of the Convention, the term business profits means income from any trade or business. Article 8 INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT
8 1. Profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State from the operation of ships or aircraft in international traffic shall be taxable only in that State. 2. For purposes of this Article, profits from the operation of ships or aircraft include, but are not limited to: a) profits from the rental of ships or aircraft on a full (time or voyage) basis; and b) profits from the charter or rental on a bareboat basis of ships or aircraft if those profits are incidental to profits from the operation by the enterprise of ships or aircraft in international traffic. 3. Profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State from the use, maintenance, or rental of containers (including related equipment for the transport of such containers) used for the transport of goods or merchandise in international traffic shall be taxable only in that State. 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 3 shall also apply to profits from participation in a pool, a joint business, or an international operating agency. 1. Where: Article 9 ASSOCIATED ENTERPRISES a) an enterprise of a Contracting State participates directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of the other Contracting State; or b) the same persons participate directly or indirectly in the management, control, or capital of an enterprise of a Contracting State and an enterprise of the other Contracting State, and in either case conditions are made or imposed between the two enterprises in their commercial or financial relations that differ from those that would be made between independent enterprises, then, any profits that, but for those conditions, would have accrued to one of the enterprises, but by reason of those conditions have not so accrued, may be included in the profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly. 2. Where a Contracting State includes in the profits of an enterprise of that State, and taxes accordingly, profits on which an enterprise of the other Contracting State has been charged to tax in that other State, and the profits so included are profits that would have accrued to the enterprise of the first-mentioned State if the conditions made between the two enterprises had been those that would have been made between independent enterprises, then that other State, if it agrees with such inclusion, shall make an appropriate adjustment to the amount of the tax charged therein on those profits. In determining such
9 adjustment, due regard shall be had to the other provisions of this Convention and the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall if necessary consult each other. Article 10 DIVIDENDS 1. Dividends paid by a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividend is a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the dividends are beneficially owned by a resident of the other Contracting State, except as otherwise provided, the tax so charged shall not exceed: a) 5 percent of the gross amount of the dividends if the beneficial owner is a company that owns directly at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the company paying the dividends; b) 15 percent of the gross amount of the dividends in all other cases. This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid. 3. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, dividends may not be taxed in the Contracting State of which the payor is a resident if the beneficial owner of the dividends is an entity that is established and maintained in the other Contracting State principally to provide or administer pensions or other similar benefits to employed and self employed persons, or to earn income for the benefit of one or more such arrangements, and that is generally exempt from tax in that other State, provided that such dividends are not derived from the carrying on of a trade or business by the beneficial owner or through an associated enterprise. 4. For purposes of this Article, the term "dividends" means income from shares or other rights, not being debt-claims, participating in profits, as well as income from rights that is subjected to the same taxation treatment as income from shares under the laws of the State of which the company making the distribution is a resident. 5. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the dividends, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State of which the company making the distribution is a resident, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the dividends are attributable to such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 (Business
10 Profits) or Article 14 (Independent Personal Services), as the case may be, shall apply. 6. Where a company that is a resident of a Contracting State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State, that other State may not impose any tax on the dividends paid by the company, except insofar as such dividends are paid to a resident of that other State or insofar as the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in that other State, nor subject the company s undistributed profits to a tax on undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income arising in such other State. 7. Notwithstanding paragraph 6, a company which is a resident of a Contracting State and which has a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State or which is subject to tax on a net basis in that other State on items of income or gains that may be taxed in that other State under Article 6 ((Income from Real Property (Immovable Property)) or under paragraph 1 of Article 13 (Capital Gains) may be subject in that other State to a tax in addition to the tax allowable under the other provisions of this Convention. Such tax, however, may be imposed only on: a) in the case of the United States: i) the portion of the business profits of the company attributable to the permanent establishment; and ii) the portion of the income or gains referred to in the preceding sentence which may be subject to tax under Article 6 or under paragraph 1 of Article 13; which represents the dividend equivalent amount, as that term is defined under the laws of the United States, as they may be amended from time to time without changing the general principle thereof; and b) in the case of Chile: i) the portion of the business profits of the company attributable to the permanent establishment; and ii) the portion of the income or gains referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph which may be taxed in Chile under Article 6 or under paragraph 1 of Article 13; which represents an amount that is comparable to the amount that would be distributable as a dividend if such income were earned by a subsidiary company resident of Chile. 8. The tax referred to in paragraph 7 may not be imposed at a rate in excess of the rate specified in subparagraph a) of paragraph 2.
11 Article 11 INTEREST 1. Interest arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such interest may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which it arises and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the interest is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed: a) 4 percent of the gross amount of the interest if the interest is beneficially owned by a resident of the other Contracting State that is either: i) a bank; ii) iii) iv) an insurance company; an enterprise substantially deriving its gross income from the active and regular conduct of a lending or finance business involving transactions with unrelated parties, where the enterprise is unrelated to the payer of the interest. For purposes of this subparagraph iii), the term lending or finance business includes the business of issuing letters of credit or providing guarantees, or providing charge and credit card services; an enterprise that sold machinery or equipment, where the interest is paid in connection with the sale on credit of such machinery or equipment; or v) any other enterprise, provided that in the three taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the interest is paid, the enterprise derives more than 50 percent of its liabilities from the issuance of bonds in the financial markets or from taking deposits at interest, and more than 50 percent of the assets of the enterprise consist of debt-claims against persons that do not have with the resident a relationship described in subparagraph (a) or (b) of paragraph 1 of Article 9 (Associated Enterprises); b) 10 percent in all other cases. 3. For a period of five years from the date on which the provisions of paragraph 2 take effect, the rate of 15 percent shall apply in place of the rate provided in subparagraph b) of paragraph Notwithstanding subparagraph a) of paragraph 2, interest referred to in that subparagraph may be taxed in the State in which it arises at a rate not exceeding
12 10 percent of the gross amount of the interest if the interest is paid as part of an arrangement involving back-to-back loans or other arrangement that is economically equivalent and intended to have a similar effect to back-to-back loans. 5. The term "interest" as used in this Article means income from debt-claims of every kind, whether or not secured by mortgage, and, in particular, income from government securities and income from bonds or debentures, including premiums attaching to such securities, bonds or debentures, and all other income that is subjected to the same taxation treatment as income from money lent by the taxation law of the Contracting State in which the income arises. Income from debt-claims that carry a right to participate in the debtor's profits shall be regarded as interest under this Article if the contract by its character clearly evidences a loan at interest. Income dealt with in Article 10 (Dividends) shall not be regarded as interest for the purposes of this Convention. 6. The provisions of paragraph 1 and 2 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the interest, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State, in which the interest arises, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the interest is attributable to such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 (Business Profits) or Article 14 (Independent Personal Services), as the case may be, shall apply. 7. Interest shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is a resident of that State. Where, however, the person paying the interest, whether he is a resident of a Contracting State or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent establishment or a fixed base in connection with which the indebtedness on which the interest is paid was incurred, and such interest is borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such interest shall be deemed to arise in the State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 8. Where, by reason of a special relationship between the payer and the beneficial owner or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the interest for whatever reason exceeds the amount that would have been agreed upon by the payer and the beneficial owner in the absence of such relationship, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In such case the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Convention. 9. a) Interest paid by a resident of a Contracting State and that is determined with reference to receipts, sales, income, profits or other cash flow of the debtor or a related person, to any change in the value of any property of the debtor or a related person or to any dividend, partnership distribution or similar payment made by the debtor to a related person, may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which it
13 arises, and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner is a resident of the other Contracting State, the gross amount of the interest may be taxed at a rate not exceeding the rate prescribed in subparagraph b) of paragraph 2 of Article 10 (Dividends); and b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article, a Contracting State may tax, in accordance with its domestic law, interest paid with respect to the ownership interests in a vehicle used for the securitization of real estate mortgages or other assets, to the extent that the amount of interest paid exceeds the return on comparable debt instruments as specified by the domestic law of that State. 10. The excess, if any, of the amount of interest allocable to the profits of a company resident in a Contracting State that are: a) attributable to a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State (including gains under paragraph 3 of Article 13 (Capital Gains); or b) subject to tax in the other Contracting State under Article 6 (Income from Real Property) or paragraph 1 of Article 13 (Capital Gains), over the interest paid by that permanent establishment, or in the case of profits subject to tax under Article 6 or paragraph 1 of Article 13, over the interest paid by that trade or business in that State shall be deemed to arise in that State and be beneficially owned by a resident of the first-mentioned State. The tax imposed under this Article on such interest shall not exceed the applicable rates provided in paragraph 2. Article 12 ROYALTIES 1. Royalties arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such royalties may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the royalties is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed: a) 2 percent of the gross amount of the royalties described in subparagraph a) of paragraph 3; b) 10 percent of the gross amount of the royalties described in subparagraph b) of paragraph The term "royalties" as used in this Article means:
14 a) payments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or the right to use, industrial, commercial or scientific equipment, but not including ships, aircraft or containers as dealt with in Article 8 (International Transport); and b) payments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or the right to use, any copyright of literary, artistic, scientific or other work (including computer software, cinematographic films, audio or video tapes or disks, and other means of image or sound reproduction), any patent, trademark, design or model, plan, secret formula or process, or other like intangible property, or for information concerning industrial, commercial, or scientific experience. The term royalties also includes gain derived from the alienation of any property described in this subparagraph, provided that such gain is contingent on the productivity, use, or disposition of the property. 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the royalties, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in which the royalties arise through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the royalties are attributable to such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 (Business Profits) or Article 14 (Independent Personal Services), as the case may be, shall apply. 5. For purposes of this Article: a) Royalties shall be treated as arising in a Contracting State when the payer is a resident of that State. Where, however, the person paying the royalties, whether he is a resident of a Contracting States or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent establishment or a fixed base in connection with which the liability to pay the royalties was incurred, and such royalties are borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such royalties shall be deemed to arise in the State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. b) Where subparagraph a) does not operate to treat royalties as arising in a Contracting State, and the royalties are for the use of, or the right to use, in a Contracting State any property or right described in paragraph 3, then such royalties shall be deemed to arise in that State and not in the State of which the payer is resident. 6. Where, by reason of a special relationship between the payer and the beneficial owner or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the royalties, having regard to the use, right, or information for which they are paid, exceeds the amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and the beneficial owner in the absence of such relationship, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In such case the excess
15 part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of the Convention. Article 13 CAPITAL GAINS 1. Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State that are attributable to the alienation of real property (immovable property) situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. For purposes of this Article, the term "real property (immovable property) situated in the other Contracting State" includes: a) real property (immovable property) referred to in Article 6 (Income from Real Property (Immovable Property)); b) in the United States, a United States real property interest, as defined in section 897 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder, as they may be amended from time to time without changing the general principles thereof; and c) in the case of Chile, any equivalent interest in real property (immovable property) situated in Chile, including shares or other rights deriving more than 50 per cent of their value directly or indirectly from real property (immovable property) situated in Chile. 3. Gains from the alienation of personal property (movable property) that are attributable to a permanent establishment that an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State, or that are attributable to a fixed base that is available to a resident of a Contracting State in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing independent personal services, and gains from the alienation of such a permanent establishment (alone or with the whole enterprise) or of such a fixed base, may be taxed in that other State. 4. Gains from the alienation of ships, aircraft, or containers operated or used in international traffic or from personal property (movable property) pertaining to the operation or use of such ships, aircraft, or containers shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which the alienator is a resident. 5. Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of shares or other rights or interests representing the capital of a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State but the tax so charged shall not exceed 16 percent of the amount of the gain. 6. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 5,
16 a) gains derived by a pension fund that is a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of shares or other rights representing the capital of a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State; b) gains derived by a mutual fund or other institutional investor that is a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of shares of a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State and whose shares are substantially and regularly traded on a recognized stock exchange located in that other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State, provided that the alienation occurred on a recognized stock exchange located in that other Contracting State; and c) gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of shares of a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State and whose shares are substantially and regularly traded on a recognized stock exchange located in that other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State if the shares were sold: i) on a recognized stock exchange in that other Contracting State; or ii) in a public offer for the acquisition of shares regulated by law; provided that such shares were previously acquired either: A) on a recognized stock exchange in that other Contracting State; B) in a public offer for the acquisition of shares regulated by law; C) in a placement of first issue shares by that company at the time of the constitution of that company or of an increase in the capital of that company; or D) in an exchange of bonds convertible into shares. 7. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 5, a) gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State if the recipient of the gain at any time during the 12-month period preceding such alienation owned shares, directly or indirectly, consisting of more than 50 percent of the capital of a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State; and b) gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of other rights not being debt claims representing the capital of a company that is a resident of the other Contracting State if the

Gains from the alienation of any property other than property referred to in paragraphs 1 through 7 shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which the alienator is a resident. 9. Where an individual who, upon ceasing to be a resident of one of the Contracting States, is treated under the taxation law of that State as having alienated any property for its fair market value and is taxed in that State by reason thereof, the individual may elect to be treated for purposes of taxation in the other Contracting State as if the individual had, immediately before ceasing to be a resident of the first-mentioned State, alienated and reacquired such property for an amount equal to its fair market value at such time. However, the individual may not make the election in respect of property situated in that other Contracting State. Article 14 INDEPENDENT PERSONAL SERVICES 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of professional services or other activities of an independent character shall be taxable only in that State, except in the following circumstances, when such income may also be taxed in the other Contracting State: a) if that resident of a Contracting State has a fixed base regularly available to him in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing his activities, in that case, only so much of the income as is attributable to that fixed base that is derived in respect of services performed in any state other than the first-mentioned Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State; or b) if that resident of a Contracting State is present in the other Contracting State for a period or periods equaling or exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in any twelve month period commencing or ending in the taxable year concerned; in that case only so much of the income as is derived from his activities performed in that other State may be taxed in that other State. 2. For purposes of paragraph 1, the income that is taxable in the other Contracting State shall be determined under the principles of paragraph 3 of Article 7 (Business Profits), provided that related administrative requirements have been satisfied.

19 ARTISTES AND SPORTSMEN 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an entertainer, such as a theater, motion picture, radio, or television artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman, from his personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, which income would be exempt from tax in that other Contracting State under the provisions of Articles 14 (Independent Personal Services) and 15 (Dependent Personal Services), may be taxed in that other State, except where the amount of the gross receipts derived by such entertainer or sportsman, including expenses reimbursed to him or borne on his behalf, from such activities does not exceed five thousand United States dollars ($5,000) or its equivalent in Chilean pesos for the taxable year concerned. 2.

20 b) such pension, however, shall be taxable only in the other Contracting State if the individual is a resident of, and a national of, that State. 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, payments made under provisions of the social security or similar legislation of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State or to a citizen of the United States shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State.

Contributions in respect of services rendered paid by, or on behalf of, an individual who is a resident of a Contracting State or who is temporarily present in that State to a pension plan or fund that is generally exempt from income taxation in the other Contracting State and operated primarily to provide pension or retirement benefits in that other State (whether or not sponsored by an employer) shall, during a period not exceeding in the aggregate 60 months, be treated in the same way for tax purposes in the first-mentioned State as a contribution paid to a pension plan that is generally exempt from income taxation in the first-mentioned State and operated primarily to provide pension or retirement benefits in that first-mentioned State, if: a) such individual was contributing on a regular basis to the pension plan (or to another similar pension plan for which the first-mentioned pension plan was substituted) for a period ending immediately before that individual became a resident of or is temporarily present in the first-mentioned State; and b) the competent authority of the first-mentioned State agrees or has agreed that the pension plan generally corresponds to a pension plan recognized for tax purposes by that State.

The provisions of Articles 15 (Dependent Personal Services), 16 (Directors Fees) and 17 (Artistes and Sportsmen) shall apply to salaries, wages and other remuneration in respect of services rendered in connection with a business carried on by a Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof.
