Article 7
BUSINESS PROFITS

1.	The profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that State unless the enterprise carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on or has carried on business as aforesaid, the profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other State but only so much of them as is attributable to that permanent establishment or are derived within such other State from sales of goods or merchandise of the same kind as those sold or from other business transactions of the same kind as those effected, through the permanent establishment.
2.	Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, where an enterprise of a Contracting State carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein, there shall be attributed to that permanent establishment the profits which it might be expected to make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in the same or similar activities under the same or similar conditions and dealing wholly independently with the enterprise of which it is a permanent establishment.
3.	In the determination of the profits of a permanent establishment, there shall be allowed those deductible expenses which are incurred for the purposes of the permanent establishment including executive and general administrative expenses, whether incurred in the State in which the permanent establishment is situated or elsewhere.
4.	Insofar as it has been customary in a Contracting State, according to its law, to determine the profits to be attributed to a permanent establishment on the basis of an apportionment of the total profits of the enterprise to its various parts, nothing in paragraph 2 of this Article shall preclude that Contracting State from determining the profits to be taxed by such an apportionment as may be customary; the method of apportionment adopted shall, however, be such that the result shall be in accordance with the principles laid down in this Article.
5.	No profits shall be attributed to a permanent establishment by reason of the mere purchase by that permanent establishment of goods or merchandise for the enterprise.
6.	For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs, the profits to be attributed to the permanent establishment shall be determined by the same method year by year unless there is good and sufficient reason to the contrary.

3.	The provisions of paragraph 1 shall also apply to profits derived by an enterprise from its participation in a pool, a joint business or in an international operating agency but only to so much of the profits so derived as is allocable to the participant in an international joint venture in proportion to its share in the joint operation.

	(b)	the same persons participate directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of a Contracting State and an enterprise of the other Contracting State, and in either case conditions are made or imposed between the two enterprises in their commercial or financial relations which differ from those which would be made between independent enterprises, then any profits which would, but for those conditions, have accrued to one of the enterprises, but, by reason of those conditions, have not so accrued, may be included in the profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly.
2.	A Contracting State shall not change the profits of an enterprise in the circumstances referred to in paragraph 1 after the expiry of the time limits provided in its national laws and, in any case, after five years from the end of the year in which the profits which would be subject to such change would have accrued to an enterprise of that State. This paragraph shall not apply in case of fraud, wilful default or neglect.

Article 10
DIVIDENDS

Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State.

However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other State, the tax so charged shall not exceed:

(a)

[MODIFIED by paragraph 1 of Article 8 of the MLI] [10 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends if the beneficial owner is a company which holds directly at least 25 per cent of the capital of the company paying the dividends;]

The following paragraph 1 of Article 8 of the MLI applies to subparagraph (a) of paragraph 2 of Article 10 of this Agreement:

ORIGINAL PROVISION:

(a)	[10 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends if the beneficial owner is a company which holds directly at least 25 per cent of the capital of the company paying the dividends;]

MODIFIED BY:

ARTICLE 8 OF THE MLI - DIVIDEND TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS

Subparagraph a paragraph 2 of Article 10 of the Agreement shall apply only if the ownership conditions described in those provisions are met throughout a 365 day period that includes the day of the payment of the dividends (for the purpose of computing that period, no account shall be taken of changes of ownership that would directly result from a corporate reorganization, such as a merger or divisive reorganization, of the company that holds the shares or that pays the dividends).

Source:
Surat Edaran Direktur Jenderal Pajak No. SE-07/PJ/2021

(b)

15 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends in all other cases.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company on the profits out of which the dividends are paid.

The term "dividends" as used in this Article means income from shares, "jouissance" shares or "jouissance" rights, mining shares, founders' shares or other rights, not being debt-claims, participating in profits, as well as income assimilated to income from shares or treated in the same way as dividends by the taxation law of the State of which the company making the distribution is a resident.

The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply if the recipient of the dividends, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident, a trade or business through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State professional services from a fixed base situated therein, and the holding by virtue of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such a case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply.

Where a company is a resident of only one Contracting State, the other Contracting State may not impose any tax on the dividends paid by the company except insofar as such dividends are paid to a resident of that other State, or insofar as the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in that other State, nor subject the company's undistributed profits to a tax on the company's undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income arising in such other State.

Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State has a permanent establishment in the other Contracting State, the profits attributable to the permanent establishment may be subject to an additional tax in that other State in accordance with its law but the additional tax so charged shall not exceed 15 percent of the amount of such profits after deducting therefrom the company tax and other taxes on income imposed thereon in that other State.

Article 11
INTEREST

1.	Interest arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State.
2.	However, such interest may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which it arises and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the interest is a resident of the other State, the tax so charged shall not exceed 10 per cent of the gross amount of the interest.
3.	The term "interest" as used in this Article means income from debt-claims of every kind, whether or not secured by mortgage, and whether or not carrying a right to participate in the debtor's profits, and in particular, income from government securities and income from bonds or debentures, including premiums and prizes attaching to such securities, bonds or debentures, as well as income assimilated to income from money lent by the taxation law of the State in which the income arises. However, the term "interest" does not include income dealt with in Article 10.
4.	The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply if the recipient of the interest, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on in the other Contracting State in which the interest arises, a trade or business through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State professional services from a fixed base situated therein, and the debt-claim in respect of which the interest is paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such a case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply.
5.	Interest shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is that State itself, a political subdivision, a local authority or a resident of that State. Where, however, the person paying the interest, whether he is a resident of a Contracting State or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent establishment or a fixed base in connection with which the indebtedness on which the interest is paid was incurred, and that interest is borne by that permanent establishment or fixed base, then such interest shall be deemed to arise in the Contracting State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated.
6.	Where, owing to a special relationship between the payer and the recipient or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the interest paid, having regard to the debt-claim for which it is paid, exceeds the amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and the recipient in the absence of such relationship, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In that case, the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the law of each Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Convention.
7.	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, interest arising in Canada shall be taxable only in Indonesia if it is paid to :
	(a)	the government of Indonesia or a political subdivision thereof;
	(b)	a statutory body of the government of Canada performing functions of a governmental nature;
	(c)	such financial public institution of Indonesia as is specified and agreed in letters exchanged between the competent authorities of the two Contracting States;
	(d)	an enterprise of Indonesia on loans or credits granted with the participation of a financing public institution of Indonesia with the approval of the competent authority of Canada.
8.	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2, interest arising in Indonesia shall be taxable only in Canada if it is paid to :
	(a)	the government of Canada or a political subdivision thereof;
	(b)	a statutory body of the government of Canada performing functions of a governmental nature;
	(c)	the Export Development Corporation; or
	(d)	an enterprise of Canada on loans or credit granted with the participation of the Export Development Corporation with the consent of the Minister in charge of financial affairs or of planning in Indonesia, in connection with the sale of any industrial or scientific equipment or with the survey, the installation or the supply of industrial or scientific premises or of public works.

Article 12
ROYALTIES

1.	Royalties arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State.
2.	However, such royalties may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the royalties is a resident of the other State, the tax so charged shall not exceed 10 per cent of the gross amount of the royalties.
3.	The term "royalties" as used in this Article means payments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or the right to use, any copyright of literary, artistic or scientific work including cinematograph films, any patent, trademark, design or model, plan, secret formula or process, or for the use of, or the right to use, industrial, commercial or scientific equipment, or for information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience. However, the term does not include payments for the furnishing of technical services (such as studies or surveys of a scientific, geological or technical nature, engineering contracts including blueprints related thereto, and consultancy and supervisory services).
4.	The provisions of paragraph 2 shall not apply if the recipient of the royalties, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on in the other Contracting State in which the royalties arise a trade or business through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State professional services from a fixed base situated therein, and the right or property in respect of which the royalties are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such a 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 that State itself, a political subdivision, a local authority or a resident of that State. Where, however, the person paying the royalties, whether he is a resident of a Contracting State or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent establishment or fixed base in connection with which the obligation to pay the royalties was incurred, and those royalties are borne by that permanent establishment or fixed base, then such royalties shall be deemed to arise in the Contracting State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated.
6.	Where, owing to a special relationship between the payer and the recipient or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the royalties paid, having regard to the use, right or information for which they are paid, exceeds the amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and the recipient in the absence of such relationship, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In that case, the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the law of each Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Convention.

CHAPTER IV
METHODS FOR PREVENTION OF DOUBLE TAXATION

Article 22
ELIMINATION OF DOUBLE TAXATION

1.	In the case of Canada, double taxation shall be avoided as follows :
	(a)	Subject to the existing provisions of the law of Canada regarding the deduction from tax payable in Canada of tax paid in a territory outside Canada and to any subsequent modification of those provisions -- which shall not affect the general principle hereof --, and unless a greater deduction or relief is provided under the laws of Canada, tax payable under the law of Indonesia and in accordance with this Convention on profits, income or gains arising in Indonesia shall be deducted from any Canadian tax payable in respect of such profits, income or gains.
	(b)	Subject to the existing provisions of the law of Canada regarding the determination of the exempt surplus of a foreign affiliate and to any subsequent modification of those provisions -- which shall not affect the general principle hereof -- for the purpose of computing Canadian tax a company resident in Canada shall be allowed to deduct in computing its taxable income any Dividend received by it out of the exempt surplus of a foreign affiliate resident in Indonesia.
	(c)	Where in accordance with any provision of this Convention income derived by a resident of Canada is exempt from tax in Canada, Canada may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on other income, take into account the exempted income.
2.	In the case of Indonesia, double taxation shall be avoided as follows :
	(a)	Indonesia, when imposing tax on residents of Indonesia, 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 in Canada.
	(b)	Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (c), Indonesia shall allow as a deduction from the tax computed in conformity with subparagraph (a) an amount equal to such proportion of that tax that the income which is included in the basis of that tax and may be taxed in Canada according to the provisions of this Convention bears to the total income which forms the basis for Indonesian tax.
	(c)	Where a resident of Indonesia derives income which, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 10, paragraph 2 of Article 11, and paragraph 2 of Article 12 may be taxed in Canada, Indonesia shall allow as a deduction from the Indonesian tax on the income of that person an amount equal to the tax paid in Canada on that income. Such deduction shall not, however, exceed that part of the Indonesian tax computed in conformity with subparagraph (a) which is appropriate to the income derived from Canada.
3.	For the purposes of this Article, profits, income or gains of a resident of a Contracting State which are taxed in the other Contracting State in accordance with this Convention shall be deemed to arise from sources in that other State.

CHAPTER V
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Article 23
NON-DISCRIMINATION

1.	The nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of that other State in the same circumstances are or may be subjected.
2.	The taxation on a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than the taxation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the same activities.

4.	Enterprises of a Contracting State, the capital of which is wholly or partly owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more residents of the other Contracting State, shall not be subjected under the law of the first-mentioned State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which, in substantially similar circumstances, enterprises of the first-mentioned State, the capital of which is wholly or partly owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more residents of a third State, are or may be subjected.
5.	Nothing in this Article shall be construed so as to prevent Indonesia from limiting to its nationals the enjoyment of tax incentives granted under the Law of 1968 regarding Domestic Capital Investment, so far as it was in force on, and has not been modified since, the date of signature of this Convention, or has been modified only in minor respects so as not to affect its general character.
