Dividends

(1) Dividends derived from sources within one of the Contracting States by a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed by both Contracting States.

(2) However, if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax charged by the first-mentioned State may not exceed 15 percent of the gross amount of the dividends actually distributed.

(3) Paragraph (2) shall not apply if the recipient of the dividends, being a resident of one of the Contracting States, has a permanent establishment or fixed base in the other Contracting State and the shares with respect to which the dividends are paid are effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such a case the provisions of Article 8 (Business Profits) or Article 15 (Independent Personal Services) shall apply.

(4) Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State has a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State, that other State may impose an additional tax in accordance with its law on the profits attributable to the permanent establishment (after deducting therefrom the company tax and other taxes on income imposed thereon in that other State) and on interest payments allocable to the permanent establishment, but the additional tax so charged shall not exceed 15 percent.

(5) The rate of tax referred to in paragraph (4) of this Article shall not affect the rate of any such additional tax contained in any production sharing contracts and contracts of work (or any other similar contracts) relating to oil and gas or other mineral products negotiated by the Government of Indonesia, its instrumentality, its relevant State oil company or any other entity thereof with a person who is a resident of the United States.
