    2. However, those royalties may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise, and according to the law of that State, but the tax so charged shall not exceed 5 per cent of the gross amount of the royalties.

    3. The term "royalties" in this Article means payments or credits, whether periodical or not, and however described or computed, to the extent to which they are made as consideration for:

         (a) the use of, or the right to use, any copyright, patent, design or model, plan, secret formula or process, trademark or other like property or right;

         (b) the supply of scientific, technical, industrial or commercial knowledge or information;

         (c) the supply of any assistance that is ancillary and subsidiary to, and is furnished as a means of enabling the application or enjoyment of, any such property or right as is mentioned in subparagraph (a) or any such knowledge or information as is mentioned in subparagraph (b);

In such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply.

    5. Royalties shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is a resident of that State for the purposes of its tax.
