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. 7.

In the case of Sweden, double taxation shall be avoided as follows: (a) Where a resident of Sweden derives income which under the laws of the Argenti- na and in accordance with the provisions of this Convention may be taxed in the Argenti- na, Sweden shall allow - subject to the provisions of the laws of Sweden concerning credit for foreign tax (as it may be amended from time to time without changing the general principle hereof) - as a deduction from the tax on such income, an amount equal to the Argentine tax paid in respect of such income. (b) Where a resident of Sweden derives income which, in accordance with the pro- visions of this Convention, shall be taxable only in the Argentina, Sweden may, when determining the graduated rate of Swedish tax, take into account the income which shall be taxable only in the Argentina. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of sub- paragraph (a) of this paragraph, dividends paid by a company which is a resident of the Argentina to a company which is a resident of Sweden shall be exempt from Swedish tax according to the provisions of Swedish law governing the exemption of tax on dividends paid to Swedish companies by subsidiaries abroad. (d) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph the Argentine assets tax as well as the Argentine personal assets tax mentioned in paragraphs 3 (a) (ii) and 3 (a) (iii) of Article 2 shall be considered as in- come taxes.

he is a resident of a Contracting State or not,
has in a Contracting State a permanent esta-
blishment 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.

7. Where by reason of a special relation-

ship 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 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 Convention.

8. The provisions of this Article shall not

be applicable if the loan in respect of which
the interest is paid is granted with the main
objective to obtain the advantages of this
Article.

of double taxation concluded by Argentina
with a third State, being a member of the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and

komsten avr�kna ett belopp motsvarande den

argentinska skatt som erlagts f�r inkomsten.

b) Om en person med hemvist i Sverige

f�rv�rvar inkomst, som enligt best�mmelser-

na i detta avtal beskattas endast i Argentina

f�r Sverige - vid best�mmandet av svensk

provisions of the laws of Sweden concerning
credit for foreign tax (as it may be amended

from time to time without changing the
general principle hereof) - as a deduction
from the tax on such income, an amount
equal to the Argentine tax paid in respect of
such income.

(b) Where a resident of Sweden derives

income which, in accordance with the pro-
visions of this Convention, shall be taxable
only in the Argentina, Sweden may, when
determining the graduated rate of Swedish
tax, take into account the income which shall
be taxable only in the Argentina.

paid by a company which is a resident of the

Argentina to a company which is a resident

of Sweden shall be exempt from Swedish tax
according to the provisions of Swedish law

lar enterprises of the first-mentioned State
are or may be subjected.

5. The provisions of this Article shall,

notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2,
apply to taxes of every kind and description.

Article 24

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
Convention, he may, irrespective of the
remedies provided by the domestic law of
those States, present his case to the compe-
tent authority of the Contracting State of

which he is a resident or, if his case comes
under paragraph 1 of Article 23, to that of

the Contracting State of which he is a natio-
nal. The case must be presented within three
years from the first notification of the action
resulting in taxation not in accordance with
the provisions of the Convention.

2. Om den beh�riga myndigheten finner

inv�ndningen grundad men inte sj�lv kan f�
till st�nd en tillfredsst�llande l�sning, skall
myndigheten s�ka l�sa fr�gan genom �msesi-
dig �verenskommelse med den beh�riga
myndigheten i den andra avtalsslutande staten
i syfte att undvika beskattning som strider
mot avtalet. Om �verenskommelse tr�ffes
mellan de beh�riga myndigheterna skall skatt
p�f�ras och �terbetalning eller avr�kning av
skatt medges i enlighet med denna �verens-

kommelse. �verenskommelse som tr�ffats

skall genomf�ras utan hinder av tidsgr�nser
i de avtalsslutande staternas interna lagstift-
ning.

3. De beh�riga myndigheterna i de av-

talsslutande staterna skall genom �msesidig
�verenskommelse s�ka avg�ra sv�righeter
eller tvivelsm�l som uppkommer i fr�ga om
tolkningen eller till�mpningen av avtalet. De

kan �ven �verl�gga i syfte att undanr�ja
dubbelbeskattning i fall som inte omfattas av
avtalet.

4. De beh�riga myndigheterna i de av-

talsslutande staterna kan tr�da i direkt f�r-
bindelse med varandra i syfte att tr�ffe �ver-
enskommelse i de fall som angivits i f�re-
g�ende punkter. Om muntliga �verl�ggningar
anses underl�tta en �verenskommelse, kan

s�dana �verl�ggningar �ga rum inom en
kommission som best�r av representanter f�r
de beh�riga myndigheterna i de avtalsslutan-
de staterna.

SFS 1995:1338

2. The competent authority shall endea-

vour, 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 autho-
rity of the other Contracting State, with a
view to the avoidance of taxation which is
not in accordance with the Convention. In
the event the competent authorities reach an
agreement, taxes shall be imposed, and
refund or credit of taxes shall be allowed by

the Contracting States in accordance with
such agreement. Any agreement reached
shall be implemented notwithstanding any
time limits in the domestic law of the Con-
tracting States.

3. The competent authorities of the Con-

tracting States shall endeavour to resolve by
mutual agreement any difficulties or doubts
arising as to the interpretation or application
of the Convention. They may also consult
together for the elimination of double taxa-
tion in cases not provided for in the Con-

vention.

4. The competent authorities of the Con-

tracting States may communicate with each
other directly for the purpose of reaching an
agreement in the sense of the preceding
paragraphs. When it seems advisable in
order to reach agreement to have an oral
exchange of opinions, such exchange may

take place through a commission consisting
of representatives of the competent authoriti-
es of the Contracting States.

Utbyte av upplysningar

1. De beh�riga myndigheterna i de av-

talsslutande staterna skall utbyta s�dana

upplysningar som �r n�dv�ndiga f�r att

till�mpa best�mmelserna i detta avtal eller i
de avtalsslutande staternas interna lagstiftning

betr�ffande skatter som omfattas av avtalet,
i den m�n beskattningen enligt denna lagstift-
ning inte strider mot avtalet. Utbytet av
upplysningar begr�nsas inte av artikel 1.
Upplysningar som en avtalsslutande stat
mottagit skall behandlas s�som hemliga p�
samma s�tt som upplysningar som erh�llits
enligt den interna lagstiftningen i denna stat
och f�r yppas endast f�r personer eller myn-
digheter (d�ri inbegripet domstolar och

administrativa myndigheter) som fastst�ller,
uppb�r eller indriver eller handl�gger besv�r
i fr�ga om skatter som omfattas av avtalet.
Dessa personer eller myndigheter skall an-
v�nda upplysningarna endast f�r s�dana
�ndam�l. De f�r yppa upplysningarna vid
offentliga r�tteg�ngar eller i domstolsav-

g�randen.

2. Best�mmelserna i punkt 1 anses inte

medf�ra skyldighet f�r en avtalsslutande stat
att

a) vidta f�rvaltnings�tg�rder som avviker

fr�n lagstiftning och administrativ praxis i

denna avtalsslutande stat eller i den andra
avtalsslutande staten,

b) l�mna upplysningar som inte �r till-

g�ngliga enligt lagstiftning eller sedvanlig
administrativ praxis i denna avtalsslutande
stat eller i den andra avtalsslutande staten,

c) l�mna upplysningar som skulle r�ja

aff�rshemlighet, industri-, handels- eller
yrkeshemlighet eller i n�ringsverksamhet
nyttjat f�rfaringss�tt eller upplysningar,
vilkas �verl�mnande skulle strida mot all-
m�nna h�nsyn (ordre public).

Article 25

Exchange of Information

1. The competent authorities of the Con-

tracting States shall exchange such informa-
tion as is necessary for carrying out the
provisions of this Convention or of the
domestic laws of the Contracting States
concerning taxes covered by the Convention,
insofar as the taxation thereunder is not
contrary to the Convention. The exchange of
information is not restricted by Article 1.
Any information received by a Contracting
State shall be treated as secret in the same
manner as information obtained under the

domestic laws of that State and shall be
disclosed only to persons or authorities
(including courts and administrative bodies)
involved in the assessment or collection of,
the enforcement in respect of, or the deter-
mination of appeals in relation to, the taxes
covered by the Convention. Such persons or
authorities shall use the information only for
such purposes. They may disclose the in-

formation in public court proceedings or in

judicial decisions.

2. Nothing in paragraph 1 shall be constru-

ed so as to impose on a Contracting State the
obligation:

(a) to carry out administrative measures at

variance with the laws or 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;

disclose any trade, business, industrial,
commercial or professional secret or trade
process, or information, the disclosure of
which would be contrary to public policy
(ordre public).

SFS 1995:1338

3. If information is requested by a Con-

tracting State in accordance with this Article,
the other Contracting State shall endeavour
to obtain the information to which the re-
quest relates in the same way as if its own
taxation was involved notwithstanding the
fact that the other State does not, at that
time, need such information. If specifically
requested by the competent authority of a
Contracting State, the competent authority of
the other Contracting State shall endeavour
to provide information under this Article in

the form requested, such as depositions of
witnesses and copies of unedited original

documents (including books, papers, state-
ments, records, accounts or writings), to the
same extent such depositions and documents
can be obtained under the laws and admini-
strative practices of that other State with
respect to its own taxes.

Article 26

Diplomatic Agents and Consular Officers

1. Nothing in this Convention 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.

2. Notwithstanding Article 4, an individual

who is a member of a diplomatic mission,
consular post or permanent mission of a
Contracting State which is situated in the
other Contracting State or in a third State
shall be deemed for the purpose of the Con-
vention to be a resident of the sending State
if he is liable in the sending State to the
same obligations in relation to tax on his
total income as are residents of that sending
State.

3. Om en avtalsslutande stat beg�r upp-

lysningar enligt denna artikel, skall den
andra avtalsslutande staten str�va efter att
inh�mta de upplysningar som framst�llningen
avser p� samma s�tt som om det g�llde skatt
till den egna staten utan hinder av att den vid

denna tidpunkt inte beh�ver informationen.
Om beh�rig myndighet i en avtalsslutande
stat s�rskilt beg�r det, skall den beh�riga
myndigheten i den andra avtalsslutande staten

str�va efter att tillhandah�lla upplysningar
enligt denna artikel i den form som beg�rts,
s�som skriftliga vittnesintyg och bestyrkta
kopior av kompletta originalhandlingar (d�ri
inbegripet bokf�ringar, dokument, rapporter,
protokoll, r�kenskaper eller skriftliga hand-
lingar) i samma omfattning som s�dana intyg
och handlingar kan erh�llas enligt lagstiftning
och administrativ praxis i denna andra stat
betr�ffande dess egna skatter.

Artikel 26

Diplomatiska f�retr�dare och konsul�ra

tj�nstem�n

1. Best�mmelserna i detta avtal ber�r inte

de privilegier vid beskattningen som enligt

folkr�ttens allm�nna regler eller best�mmel-
ser i s�rskilda �verenskommelser tillkommer

tj�nstem�n.

2. Utan hinder av artikel 4, skall en fysisk

person, som tillh�r en avtalsslutande stats
beskickning, konsulat eller st�ndiga represen-

tation, vilken �r bel�gen i den andra avtals-
slutande staten eller i tredje stat, vid till-
l�mpningen av avtalet anses ha hemvist i den
s�ndande staten om han i den s�ndande

staten �r underkastad samma skyldigheter i

ka beskickning, konsulat eller st�ndiga repre-
