Artikel IA

1. It is understood that a person (other than an individual) that is a subject of the tax laws (as meant in Article 2 of this Convention) of one of the States shall be regarded as liable to tax in that State, even when all elements of income attributable to that person are exempted from tax where the person meets all the requirements for exemption specified in the domestic tax law.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 1 and 4 of the Convention and the foregoing provisions of this Article, the competent authorities of the States shall by mutual agreement decide to which extent a resident of one of the States that is subject to a preferential regime shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Convention. A company which is treated as a “vrijgestelde beleggingsinstelling” (tax exempt investment institution) as meant in the Netherlands Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 shall not be entitled to the benefits of Articles 10, 11, 12, paragraph 4 of Article 13 and paragraph 1 of Article 21 of the Convention and the corresponding Articles of the Protocol to the Convention.
