If he has such a fixed base, that portion of the income attributable to the fixed base that is derived in respect of services performed in that other State also may be taxed by that other State.
In determining the income described in paragraph 1 that is taxable in the other Contracting State the principles of Article 7 (Business Profits} shall apply.
