Article 10 Elimination of double taxation

(1) A contracting party in which the beneficial owner is resident for tax purposes shall ensure the elimination of any double taxation which might result from the imposition by Jersey of the retention tax to which this Agreement refers in accordance with the following provisions—

(i) if interest received by a beneficial owner has been subject to retention tax in Jersey, the other contracting party shall grant a tax credit equal to the amount of the tax retained in accordance with its national law. Where this amount exceeds the amount of tax due in accordance with its national law, the other contracting party shall repay the excess amount of tax retained to the beneficial owner;

(ii) if, in addition to the retention tax referred to in Article 4 of this Agreement, interest received by a beneficial owner has been subject to any other type of withholding/retention tax and the contracting party of residence for tax purposes grants a tax credit for such withholding/retention tax in accordance with its national law or double taxation conventions, such other withholding/retention tax shall be credited before the procedure in sub-paragraph (i) of this Article is applied.

(2) The contracting party which is the country of residence for tax purposes of the beneficial owner may replace the tax credit mechanism referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article by a refund of the retention tax referred to in Article 1 of this Agreement.
