1.
For the purposes of this Convention, the term ‘resident of a Contracting State’ means:
- a)
in the case of the Netherlands: any person who, under the laws of the Netherlands, is liable to tax therein by reason of his domicile, residence, place of management or any other criterion of a similar nature. This term, however, does not include any person who is liable to tax in the Netherlands in respect only of income from sources in the Netherlands;
- b)
in the case of the United Arab Emirates: an individual who is a national of the United Arab Emirates, provided that the individual has a substantial presence, permanent home or habitual abode in the United Arab Emirates and that individual's personal and economic relations are closer to the United Arab Emirates than to any other State and a company that has its place of effective management in the United Arab Emirates.
2.
The term ‘resident of a Contracting State’ also includes:
- a)
that State, any political subdivision, local authority thereof;
- b)
a pension fund that is recognised and controlled according to the statutory provisions of a Contracting State and the income of which is generally exempt from tax in that State;
- c)
a government institution of a Contracting State. Any institution shall be deemed to be a government institution which has been created, wholly owned and controlled by the government of one of the Contracting States or of its political subdivisions, for the fulfilment of public functions and which is recognized as such by mutual agreement of the competent authorities of the Contracting States.
3.
Where by reason of the provisions of paragraph 1 an individual is a resident of both Contracting States, then his status shall be determined as follows:
- a)
he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State in which he has a permanent home available to him; if he has a permanent home available to him in both States, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State with which his personal and economic relations are closer (centre of vital interests);
- b)
if the State in which he has his centre of vital interests cannot be determined, or if he has not a permanent home available to him in either State, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State in which he has an habitual abode;
- c)
if he has an habitual abode in both States or in neither of them, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State of which he is a national;
- d)
if he is a national of both States or of neither of them, the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall settle the question by mutual agreement.
4.
Where by reason of the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article a person other than an individual is a resident of both Contracting States, then the competent authorities of the Contracting States shall endeavour to determine by mutual agreement the State of which the person shall be deemed to be a resident, having regard to its place of effective management, the place where it is incorporated or otherwise constituted and any other relevant factors. If the competent authorities are unable to determine the matter by mutual agreement, they shall endeavour to determine by mutual agreement the mode of application of the Convention to that person.
