a) either enterprise participates directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of the other enterprise; or

b) the provisions of Article 6 would be applicable to that New Zealand enterprise in respect of those services but, pursuant to an agreement or arrangement to which that Swedish enterprise and the Government or competent authorities of New Zealand are parties, those provisions are not applied, or are not applied in full, in New Zealand in relation to that New Zealand enterprise in respect of those services, nothing in Article 5 shall affect the operation of the law of New Zealand in relation to the taxation of that Swedish enterprise in respect of any industrial or commercial profits which are, under that law, derived from sources in New Zealand in relation to those goods or materials. 

1) Where: 
a) an enterprise of a Contracting State participates directly or indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enterprise of the other Contracting State, or

2) If the information available to the taxation authorities concerned is inadequate to determine, for the purpose of paragraph (1) of this Article, the profits which might have been expected to accrue to an enterprise, nothing in that paragraph shall affect the application of the law of either Contracting State in relation to the liability of that enterprise to pay tax on an amount determined by the exercise of a discretion or the making of an estimate by the taxation authorities of that Contracting State; provided that such discretion shall be exercised or such estimate shall be made, so far as the information available to the taxation authorities permits, in accordance with the principle stated in that paragraph.

The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall by mutual agreement settle the mode of application of this limitation. This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid.

4) The limitation on the amount of tax for which paragraph (2) of this Article provides shall not apply if the beneficial owner 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, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. 

5) Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State, that other 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. 

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 recipient is the beneficial owner of the interest the amount of tax so charged shall not exceed 10 per cent of the gross amount of the interest. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall by mutual agreement settle the mode of application of this limitation. Penalty charges for late payment shall not be regarded as interest for the purpose of this Article. 

3) The limitation on the amount of tax for which paragraph (2) of this Article provides shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the interest, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in which the interest arises, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the indebtedness in respect of which the interest is paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. 

4) 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 in respect of which the interest is paid was incurred, and such interest is borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such interest shall be deemed to arise in the State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 

5) Where, by reason of a special relationship between the payer and the beneficial owner of the interest or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the interest paid, having regard to the indebtedness in respect of which it is paid, exceeds the amount which might have been expected to have been agreed upon in the absence of such relationship, the limitation on the amount of tax for which paragraph (2) of this Article provides shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In such case, the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State. 

6) In the application of this Article by a Contracting State the term "interest" as used in this Article shall not include any interest which is treated as a dividend under the laws of that Contracting State. 

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 recipient is the beneficial owner of the royalties the amount of tax so charged shall not exceed 10 per cent of the gross amount of the royalties. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall by mutual agreement settle the mode of application of this limitation. 

3) The term "royalties" as used in this Article means payments of any kind to the extent to which they are paid as consideration for:

5) Royalties shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State when the payer is that Contracting 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 a fixed base in connection with which the liability to pay the royalties was incurred, and the royalties are borne by such permanent establishment or fixed base, then such royalties shall be deemed to arise in the State in which the permanent establishment or fixed base is situated. 

6) Where, by reason of a special relationship between the payer and the beneficial owner of the royalties or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the royalties paid, having regard to what they are paid for, exceeds the amount which might have been expected to have been agreed upon in the absence of such relationship, the limitation on the amount of tax for which paragraph (2) of this Article provides shall apply only to the last-mentioned amount. In such case, the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State. 

7) Income derived from sources within a Contracting State from the sale of patent rights by a resident of the other Contracting State who does not have, in the first-mentioned Contracting State, a permanent establishment with which the patent rights are effectively connected, shall be exempt from tax in that first-mentioned Contracting State.
