1.
The Netherlands, when imposing tax on its residents, may include in the basis upon which such taxes are imposed the items of income which, according to the provisions of this Convention, may be taxed or shall be taxable only in Bahrain.
2.
However, where a resident of the Netherlands derives items of income which according to paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 of Article 6, paragraph 1 of Article 7, paragraph 7 of Article 10, paragraph 3 of Article 11, paragraph 3 of Article 12, paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 13, paragraphs 1 (subparagraph a) and 2 (subparagraph a) of Article 18 and paragraph 2 of Article 21 of this Convention may be taxed in Bahrain and are included in the basis referred to in paragraph 1, the Netherlands shall exempt such items of income by allowing a reduction of its tax. This reduction shall be computed in conformity with the provisions of the Netherlands' law for the avoidance of double taxation. For that purpose the said items of income shall be deemed to be included in the amount of the items of income which are exempt from Netherlands' tax under those provisions.
3.
Further, the Netherlands shall allow a reduction from the Netherlands' tax so computed for the items of income which according to paragraphs 2 and 8 of Article 10, paragraph 5 of Article 13, paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 14, paragraph 1 of Article 15, paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 16 and paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 of Article 17 of this Convention may be taxed in Bahrain to the extent that these items are included in the basis referred to in paragraph 1. The amount of this reduction shall be equal to the tax paid in Bahrain on these items of income, but shall, in case the provisions of the Netherlands' law for the avoidance of double taxation provide so, not exceed the amount of the reduction which would be allowed if the items of income so included were the sole items of income which are exempt from Netherlands tax under the provisions of the Netherlands law for the avoidance of double taxation.
This paragraph shall not restrict allowance now or hereafter accorded by the provisions of the Netherlands' law for the avoidance of double taxation, but only as far as the calculation of the amount of the reduction of Netherlands' tax is concerned with respect to the aggregation of income from more than one country and the carry forward of the tax paid in Bahrain on the said items of income to subsequent years.
4.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, the Netherlands shall allow a reduction from the Netherlands' tax for the tax paid in Bahrain on items of income which according to paragraph 1 of Article 7, paragraph 7 of Article 10, paragraph 3 of Article 11, paragraph 3 of Article 12 and paragraph 2 of Article 21 of this Convention may be taxed in Bahrain to the extent that these items are included in the basis referred to in paragraph 1, insofar as the Netherlands under the provisions of the Netherlands' law for the avoidance of double taxation allows a reduction from the Netherlands' tax of the tax levied in another country on such items of income. For the computation of this reduction the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Article shall apply accordingly.
5.
In Bahrain double taxation shall be eliminated as follows:
- a)
where a resident of Bahrain derives income, which, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, may be taxed in the Netherlands, Bahrain shall allow as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the income tax paid in the Netherlands. Such deduction shall not, however, exceed that part of the income tax, as computed before the deduction is given, which is attributable to the income which may be taxed in the Netherlands; and
- b)
where in accordance with any provision of this Convention income derived by a resident of Bahrain is exempt from tax in Bahrain, Bahrain may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on the remaining income of such resident, take into account the exempted income.
