Gains
- Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of:
a) real property situated in the other Contracting State or b) an interest in a partnership, trust or estate to the extent attributable to real property situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State.
For purposes of this Article, the term "real property situated in the other Contracting State" includes a United States real property interest or an equivalent interest in Turkish real property, real property referred to in Article 6 (Income from Immovable Property (Real Property)) which is situated in the other Contracting State and an interest in a partnership, trust or estate referred to in paragraph 1 b).
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 such a fixed base, may be taxed in that other State.
Gains from the alienation of ships, aircraft, or containers operated in international traffic, or movable property pertaining to the operation of ships, aircraft, or containers shall be taxable only in the Contracting State of which the alienator is a resident.
Gains from the alienation of any property other than that referred to in the foregoing paragraphs shall be taxable only in the State of which the alienator is resident. However, the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not affect the right of one of the States to levy according to its own law a tax on gains derived by a resident of the other State from the alienation of shares or bonds issued by a company which is a resident of the first-mentioned State (other than shares and bonds quoted on a stock exchange of that State) if the alienation takes place to a resident of the first-mentioned State and if the period between acquisition and alienation does not exceed one year.
