  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 which would have accrued to the enterprise of the first-mentioned State if the conditions made between the two enterprises had been those which would have been made between independent enterprises, then that other State shall make an appropriate adjustment to the amount of the tax charged therein on those profits.

  六、如果支付利息的人為締約國一方政府、其地方當局或該締約國居民,應認為該利息發生在該締約國。然而,當支付利息的人不論是否為締約國一方居民,在締約國一方設有常設機構或者固定基地,支付該利息的債務與該常設機構或者固定基地有聯係,並由其負擔利息,上述利息應認為發生於該常設機構或固定基地所在國。

  七、由於支付利息的人與受益所有人之間或者他們與其他人之間的特殊關係,就有關債權所支付的利息數額超出支付人與受益所有人沒有上述關係所能同意的數額時,本條規定應僅適用於後來提及的數額。在這種情況下,對該支付款項的超出部分,仍應按各締約國的法律征稅,但應對本協定其他規定予以適當注意。
