加中税收协定
本帖最后由 阿卡菲尔 于 2014-12-17 09:22 编辑不太懂税，看到这个1986年签订的税收协定，觉得应该分享一下。特别是其中有关于避免双重征税的很多官方协议。按照我的理解，拿到PR以后如果没有在加拿大注满183天，收入不是从加拿大获得部分是不需要在加拿大交税的。
懂税的朋友可以帮忙对协定中的条款解读一下。

二、从属于第三款的规定，缔约国一方企业通过设在缔约国另一方的常设机构在该缔约国另一方进行营业，应将该常设机构视同在相同或类似情况下从事相同或类似活动的独立分设企业，并同该常设机构所隶属的企业完全独立处理，该常设机构可能得到的利润在缔约国各方应归属于该常设机构。

五、如果利息受益所有人是缔约国一方居民，在该利息发生的缔约国另一方，通过设在该缔约国另一方的常设机构进行营业或者通过设在该缔约国另一方的固定基地从事独立个人劳务，据以支付该利息的债权与该常设机构或者固定基地有实际联系的，不适用第一款、第二款和第三款的规定。在这种情况下，应视具体情况适用第七条或第十四条的规定。 六、如果支付利息的人为缔约国一方政府、行政区、地方当局或该缔约国居民，应认为该利息发生在该缔约国。然而，当支付利息的人不论是否为缔约国一方居民，在缔约国一方设有常设机构或者固定基地，支付该利息的债务与该常设机构或者固定基地有联系，并由其负担这种利息，上述利息应认为发生于该常设机构或固定基地所在缔约国。 七、由于支付利息的人与受益所有人之间或者他们与其他人之间的特殊关系，就有关债权支付的利息数额超出支付人与受益人所有人没有上述关系所能同意的数额时，本条规定应仅适用于后来提及的数额。在这种情况下，对该支付款项的超出部分，仍应按各缔约国的法律征税，但应对本协定其它规定予以适当注意。 第十二条 特许权使用费 一、发生于缔约国一方而支付给缔约国另一方居民的特许权使用费，可以在该缔约国另一方征税。

五、如果支付特许权使用费的人是缔约国一方政府、行政区、地方当局或该缔约国居民，应认为该特许权使用费发生在该缔约国。然而，当支付特许权使用费的人不论是否为缔约国一方居民，在缔约国一方设有常设机构或者固定基地，支付该特许权使用费的义务与该常设机构或者固定基地有联系，并由其负担这种特许权使用费，上述特许权使用费应认为发生于该常设机构或者固定基地所在缔约国。

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 3， 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 for collecting information， for the enterprise； （e） the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for the purpose of carrying on， for the enterprise， any other activity of a preparatory or auxiliary character； （f） the maintenance of a fixed place of business solely for any combination of activities mentioned in subparagraphs （a） to （e） provided that the overall activity of the fixed place of business resulting from this combination is of a preparatory or auxiliary character. 5.

An enterprise of a Contracting State shall not be deemed to have a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State merely because it carries on business in that other Contracting 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. However， when the activities of such an agent are devoted wholly or almost wholly on behalf of that enterprise， he will not be considered an agent of an independent status within the meaning of this paragraph. 7. The fact that a company which is a resident of a Contracting State controls or is controlled by a company which is a resident of the other Contracting State， or which carries on business in that other Contracting State （whether through a permanent establishment or otherwise）， shall not of itself constitute either company a permanent establishment of the other. Article 6 Income from Immovable Property 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State from immovable property situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State. 2. The term “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 immovable property， livestock and equipment used in agriculture and forestry， rights to which the provisions of general law respecting landed property apply， usufruct of 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 and aircraft shall not be regarded as 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 immovable property. 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 ahd 3 shall also apply to the income from immovable property of an enterprise and to income from immovable property used for the performance of independent personal services. Article 7 Business Profits 1. The profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that Contracting State unless the enterprise carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on or has carried on business as aforesaid， the profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other Contracting State but only so much of them as is 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 profits which it might be expected to make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in the same 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 profits of a permanent establishment， there shall be allowed as deductions expenses which are incurred for the purposes of the business of the permanent establishment， including executive and general administrative expenses so incurred， whether in the Contracting State in which the permanent establishment is situated or elsewhere. However， no such deduction shall be allowed in respect of amounts， if any， paid （otherwise than towards reimbursement of actual expenses） by the permanent establishment to the head office of the enterprise or any of its other offices， by way of royalties， fees or other similar payments in return for the use of patents or other rights， or by way of commission， for specific services performed or for management， or， except in the case of a banking enterprise， by way of interest on moneys lent to the permanent establishment. Likewise， no account shall be taken， in the determination of the profits of a permanent establishment， for amounts charged （otherwise than towards reimbursement of actual expenses）， by the permanent establishment to the head office of the enterprise or any of its other offices， by way of royalties， fees or other similar payments in return for the use of patents or other rights， or by way of commission for specific services performed or for management， or， except in the case of a banking enterprise， by way of interest on moneys lent to the head office of the enterprise or any of its other offices. 4. Insofar as it has been customary in a Contracting State to determine the profits to be attributed to a permanent establishment on the basis of an apportionment of the total profits of the enterprise to its various parts， nothing in paragraph 2 shall preclude that Contracting State from determining the profits to be taxed by such an apportionment as may be customary； the method of apportionment adopted shall， however， be such that the result shall be in accordance with the principles contained in this Article. 5. No 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. 6. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 to 5， 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. 7. Where profits include items of income which are dealt with separately in other Articles of this Agreement， then， the provisions of those Articles shall not be affected by the provisions of this Article. Article 8 Shipping and Air Transport 1. Profits from the operation of ships or aircraft in international traffic shall be taxable only in the Contracting State in which the place of head office or the place of effective management is situated. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 and Article 7， profits derived from the operation of ships or aircraft used principally to transport passengers or goods exclusively between places in a Contracting State may be taxed in that Contracting State. 3. The provisions of this Article shall also apply to profits from participation in a pool， a joint business or an international operating agency. Article 9 Associated Enterprises Where （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 which differ from those which would be made between independent enterprises， then any profits which would， but for those conditions， 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. Article 10 Dividends 1. Dividends paid by company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State. 2. However， such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident， and according to the laws of that Contracting State， but if the recipient is the beneficial owner of the dividends the tax so charged shall not exceed： （a） 10 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends if the beneficial owner is a company which owns at least 10 per cent of the voting stock of the company paying the dividends； （b） 15 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends in all other cases. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid. 3. The term “dividends” as used in this Article means income from shares or other rights， not being debt-claims， participating in profits， as well as income from other rights which is subjected to the same taxation treatment as income from shares by the taxation laws of the Contracting State of which the company making the distribution is a resident. 4. 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 paying the dividends is a resident， through a permanent establishment situated therein， or performs in that other Contracting State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein， and the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14， as the case may be， shall apply. 5. Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State， that other Contracting 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 Contracting State or insofar as the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in that other Contracting State， nor subject the company's undistributed profits to a tax on the company's undistributed profits， even if the dividends paid or the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income arising in that other Contracting State. 6. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement， a company which is a resident of the People's Republic of China and which has permanent establishments in Canada， shall， in accordance with the provisions of Canadian law， remain subject to the additional tax on companies other than Canadian corporations， but the rate of such additional tax shall not exceed 10 per cent. For the purpose of this paragraph， the term “earnings” means the profits attributable to such permanent establishments in Canada in a year and previous years after deducting therefrom： （a） business losses attributable to such permanent establishments （including losses from the alienation of property forming part of the business property of such permanent establishments） in such year and previous years， （b） all taxes chargeable in Canada on such profits， other than the additional tax referred to herein， and （c） the profits reinvested in Canada， provided that the amount of such deduction shall be determined in accordance with the existing provisions of the law of Canada regarding the computation of the allowance in respect of investment in property in Canada， and any subsequent modification of those provisions which shall not affect the general principle hereof. 7. The additional tax referred to in paragraph 6 shall be levied only to the extent that the cumulative amount of earnings of the company， or of a person related thereto from the same or similar business as that carried on by the company， exceeds five hundred thousand Canadian dollars （ $ 500， 000） . 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 Contracting State. 2. However， such interest may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which it arises， and according to the laws of that Contracting State， but if the recipient is the beneficial owner of the interest the tax so charged shall not exceed 10 per cent of the gross amount of the interest. 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2， interest arising in a Contracting State is exempt from tax in that Contracting State， if it is paid： （a） in the case of Canada： （i） to the Government of Canada； （ii） to the Bank of Canada； （iii） on a loan directly or indirectly financed or guaranteed by the Canadian Export Development Corporation； （iv） to a financial establishment owned by the Government of Canada and mutually agreed upon by the competent authorities of the Contracting States； （b） in the case of the People's Republic of China： （i） to the Government of the People's Republic of China； （ii） to the People's Bank of China； （iii） on a loan directly or indirectly financed or guaranteed by the Bank of China or the Chinese International Trust and Investment Company （CITIC） ； （iv） to a financial establishment owned by the Government of the People's Republic of China and mutually agreed upon by the competent authorities of the Contracting States. 4. The term “interest” as used in this Article includes income from debt-claims of every kind， whether or not secured by mortgage， and whether or not carrying a right to participate in the debtor's profits， and in particular， income from Government securities and income from bonds or debentures， as well as premiums and bonuses attaching to such securities， bonds or debentures. 5. The provisions of paragraphs 1， 2 and 3 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 Contracting State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein， and the debt-claim in respect of which the interest is paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14， as the case may be， shall apply. 6. Interest shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is the Government of that Contracting State， a political subdivision， a local authority or a resident of that Contracting 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 Contracting State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 7. 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， having regard to the debt-claim for which it is paid， exceeds the amonut 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 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 Agreement. 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 Contracting State. 2. However， such royalties may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise， and according to the laws of that Contracting State， but if the recipient is the beneficial owner of the royalties the tax so charged shall not exceed 10 per cent of the gross amount of the royalties. 3. The term “royalties” as used in this Article means payments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of， or the right to use， any copyright of literary， artistic or scientific work including cinematograph films and films or tapes for radio or television broadcasting， any patent， know-how， trade mark， design or model， plan， secret formula or process， or for the use of， or the right to use， industrial， commercial or scientific equipment， or for information concerning industrial， commercial or scientific experience. 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 Contracting State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein， and the right or property in respect of which the royalties are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14， as the case may be， shall apply. 5. Royalties shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is the Government of that Contracting State， a political subdivision， a local authority or a resident of that Contracting State. Where， however， the person paying the royalties， 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 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 Contracting State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 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 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 Agreement. Article 13 Capital Gains 1. Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting state from the alienation of immovable property referred to in Article 6 and situated in the other Contracting state may be taxed in that other Contracting state. 2. Gains from the alienation of movable property forming part of the business property of a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State or of movable property pertaining to a fixed base available to a resident of a Contracting State in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing independent personal services， including such 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 Contracting State. 3. Gains from the alienation of ships or aircraft operated in international traffic and movable property pertaining to the operation of such ships or aircraft which are received by a resident of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that Contracting State. 4. Gains from the alienation of shares in the capital of a Company， the assets of which consist mainly， directly or indirectly， of immovable property situated in a Contracting State， may be taxed in that Contracting State. 5. Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of any property other than that referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 above， may be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise. 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 Contracting State except in the following circumstances， when such income may also be taxed in the other Contracting State： （a） if he 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 may be taxed in that other Contracting State； or （b） if his stay in the other Contracting State for a period or periods exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in the calendar year concerned； in that case， only so much of the income as is derived from his activities performed in that other Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State. 2.

For the purposes of paragraph 1 （a）， tax payable in the People's Republic of China by a company which is a resident of Canada shall be deemed to include any amount which would have been payable as Chinese tax for any year but for an exemption from， or reduction of， tax granted for that year or any part thereof under any of the following provisions of Chinese law： （a） Articles 5 and 6 of the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Joint Venture with Chinese and Foreign Investment and Article 3 of the Detailed Rules and Regulations for the Implementation of the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Joint Ventures with Chinese and Foreign Investment； （b） Articles 4 and 5 of the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Foreign Enterprises； （c） Articles I， II， III， IV and X of Part I， Articles I， II， III and IV of Part II and Articles I， II and III of part III of the interim provisions of the State Council of the People's Republic of China concerning reduction or exemption from enterprise income tax in special economic zones and coastal cities； so far as they were in force on， and have not been modified since， the date of signature of this Agreement， or have been modified only in minor respects so as not to affect their general character； or （d） any other provision which may subsequently be made granting an exemption or reduction of tax which is agreed by the competent authorities of the Contracting States to be of a substantially similar character， if it has not been modified thereafter or has been modified only in minor respects so as not to affect its general character. （e） For the application of this paragraph， the amount of Chinese tax shall be deemed to be： （i） in the case of dividends -10 per cent if the recipient of the dividends is the beneficial owner of at least 10 per cent of the voting stock of the company paying the dividends； -15 per cent in all other cases； （ii） in the case of interest 10 per cent； and （iii） in the case of royalties 15 per cent. 3. In the case of the People's Republic of China， double taxation shall be avoided as follows： （a） Where a resident of the People's Republic of China derives income from Canada， the amount of tax payable in Canada in respect of that income in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be allowed as a credit against the Chinese tax imposed on that resident. The amount of credit， however， shall not exceed the amount of the Chinese tax computed as appropriate to that income in accordance with the taxation laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China. （b） Where the income derived from Canada is a dividend paid by a company which is a resident of Canada to a company which is a resident of the People's Republic of China and which owns not less than 10 per cent of the shares of the company paying the dividend， the credit shall take into account the tax payable in Canada by the company paying the dividend in respect of its income. 4. For the purposes of this Article， profits， income or gains of a resident of a Contracting State which are taxed in the other Contracting State in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to arise from sources in that other Contracting State. Article 22 Non-Discrimination 1. Nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of that other Contracting State in the same circumstances are or may be subjected. The provisions of this paragraph shall， notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1， also apply to individuals who are not residents of one or both of the Contracting States. 2. The taxation on a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State shall not be less favourably levied in that other Contracting State than the taxation levied on enterprises of that other Contracting State carrying on the same activities. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed as obliging a Contracting State to grant to residents of the other Contracting State any personal allowances， reliefs and reductions for taxation purposes on account of civil status or family responsibilities which it grants to its own residents. 3. Enterprises of a Contracting State， the capital of which is wholly or partly owned or controlled， directly or indirectly， by one or more residents of the other Contracting State， shall not be subjected in the first-mentioned Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned Contracting State， the capital of which is wholly or partly owned or controlled， directly or indirectly， by one or more residents of a third State， are or may be subjected. Article 23 Mutual Agreement Procedure 1. Where a person considers that the actions of one or both of the Contracting States result or will result for him in taxation not in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement， he may， irrespective of the remedies provided by the domestic law of those Contracting States， address to the competent authority of the Contracting State of which he is a resident， or to that of the Contracting State of which he is a national if his case comes under paragraph 1 of Article 22， an application in writing stating the grounds for claiming the revision of such taxation. 2. The competent authority shall endeavour， if the objection appears to it to be justified and if it is not itself able to arrive at a satisfactory solution， to resolve the case by mutual agreement with the competent authority of the other Contracting State， with a view to the avoidance of taxation which is not in accordance with the provision of this Agreement. 3. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall endeavour to resolve by mutual agreement any difficulties or doubts arising as to the interpretation or application of this Agreement. They may also consult together for the elimination of double taxation in cases not provided for in this Agreement. 4. The competent authorities of the Contracting States may communicate with each other directly for the purpose of reaching an agreement in the sense of paragraphs 2 and 3. When it seems advisable for the purpose of reaching agreement， the competent authorities may meet together for an oral exchange of opinions. Article 24 Exchange of Information 1. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall exchange such information as is necessary for carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or of the domestic laws of the Contracting States concerning taxes covered by this Agreement， insofar as the taxation thereunder is not contrary to this Agreement， in particular for the prevention of fraud or evasion of such taxes. The exchange of information is not restricted by Article 1. Any information so exchanged shall be treated as secret and shall be disclosed only to persons or authorities， including courts， involved in the assessment or collection of the taxes covered by this Agreement or the determination of appeals in relation thereto. Such information may be disclosed in public court proceedings or in judicial decisions. 2. In no case shall the provisions of paragraph 1 be construed so as to impose on a Contracting State the obligation： （a） to carry out administrative measures at variance with the laws and the administrative practice of that or of the other Contracting State； （b） to supply information which is not obtainable under the laws or in the normal course of the administration of that or of the other Contracting state； or （c） to supply information which would disclose any trade， business， industrial， commercial or professional secret or trade process， or information， the disclosure of which would be contrary to public policy. Article 25 Diplomatic Agents and Consular Officers Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the fiscal privileges of diplomatic agents or consular officers under the general rules of international law or under the provisions of special agreements. Article 26 Entry into Force This Agreement shall enter into force on the thirtieth day after the date on which diplomatic notes indicating the completion of internal legal procedures necessary in each country for the entry into force of this Agreement have been exchanged. This Agreement shall have effect： （a） in respect of tax withheld at the source on amounts paid or credited to non-residents on or after the first day of January next following that in which this Agreement enters into force； and （b） in respect of other taxes for taxation years beginning on or after the first day of January next following that in which this Agreement enters into force. Article 27 Termination This Agreement shall continue in effect indefinitely but either of the Contracting States may， on or before the thirtieth day of June in any calendar year beginning after the expiration of a period of five years from the date of its entry into force， give to the other Contracting State， through diplomatic channels， written notice of termination. In such event， this Agreement shall cease to have effect： （a） in respect of tax withheld at the source on amounts paid or credited to non-residents on or after the first day of January in the calendar year next following that in which the notice of termination is given； and （b） in respect of other taxes for taxation years beginning on or after the first day of January in the calendar year next following that in which the notice of termination is given.
