  • 15% withholding tax in all other cases.

Interest

  • 10% withholding tax on interest payments, if the recipient is the beneficial owner of such interest.

Royalties

  • 10% withholding tax is taxable on royalty payments provided that the recipient is the beneficial owner of such royalties.

Gains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of shares or similar interests in the capital of a company deriving more than 50 per cent (50%) of their value directly or indirectly from immovable property situated in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State.
