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

In that case, the excess part of the payments shall remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Convention. 

5. Any provision in the law of either Contracting State relating only to interest paid to a non-resident company shall not operate so as to require such interest paid to a resident of the other Contracting State to be treated as a distribution by the company paying such interest.

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

4. Where, owing to a special relationship between the payer and the beneficial owner or between both of them and some other person, the amount of the royalties exceeds, for whatever reason, the amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and the beneficial owner 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 laws of each Contracting State, due regard being had to the other provisions of this Convention.

3. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall endeavour to resolve by mutual agreement any difficulties or doubts arising as to the interpretation or application of the Convention. They may also consult together to consider measures to counteract improper use of the provisions of the Convention. 

4. The competent authorities of the Contracting States may communicate with each other directly for the purpose of reaching an agreement in the sense of the preceding paragraphs. 

1. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall exchange such information as is necessary for carrying out the provisions of this Convention or of the domestic laws of the Contracting States concerning taxes covered by the Convention insofar as the taxation thereunder is not contrary to the Convention. Any information received by a Contracting State shall be treated as secret in the same manner as information obtained under the domestic laws of that State and shall be disclosed only to persons or authorities (including courts and administrative bodies) involved in the assessment or collection of, the enforcement or prosecution in respect of, or the determination of appeals in relation to, the taxes covered by the Convention. Such persons or authorities shall use the information only for such purposes. They may disclose the information in public court proceedings or in judicial decisions. 

2. In no case shall the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Article be construed so as to impose on a Contracting State the obligation: 

a) to carry out administrative measures at variance with the laws and administrative practice of that or of the other Contracting State; 
b) to supply information which is not obtainable under the laws or in the normal course of the administration of that or of the other Contracting State; 
c) to supply information which would disclose any trade, business, industrial, commercial or professional secret or trade process, or information, the disclosure of which would be contrary to public policy (ordre public). 

Nothing in this Convention shall affect the fiscal privileges of diplomatic agents or consular officers under the general rules of international law or under the provisions of special agreements. 

1. This Convention may be extended, either in its entirety or with any necessary modifications, to any State or territory for whose international relations the United Kingdom or Denmark is responsible, which imposes taxes substantially similar in character to those to which the Convention applies. Any such extension shall take effect from such date and subject to such modifications and conditions, including conditions as to termination, as may be specified and agreed between the Contracting States in notes to be exchanged through diplomatic channels or in any other manner in accordance with their constitutional procedures. 

2. Unless otherwise agreed by both Contracting States, the termination of the Convention by one of them under Article 30 shall also terminate, in the manner provided for in that Article, the application of the Convention to any State or territory to which it has been extended under this Article. 

1. Where under any provision of this Convention income is relieved from Danish tax and, under the law in force in the United Kingdom, an individual, in respect of the said income is subject to tax by reference to the amount thereof which is remitted to or received in the United Kingdom and not by reference to the full amount thereof, then the relief to be allowed under this Convention in Denmark shall apply only to so much of the income as is remitted to or received in the United Kingdom. 

2. The term "political subdivision", in relation to the United Kingdom, includes Northern Ireland. 

3. Payments made by an individual who is resident in a Contracting State, but is not a national of that State, to a pension scheme established in the other Contracting State may be relieved from tax in the first-mentioned State provided that:- 

a) the individual was contributing to the pension scheme before he became a resident of the first-mentioned State; and 
b) the pension scheme is accepted by the Competent Authority of that State as corresponding to a pension scheme recognised as such for tax purposes by that State. 

1. The provisions of this Article shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of this Convention where activities are carried on offshore in connection with the exploration for or exploitation of oil or gas in the seabed and subsoil (in this Article called "offshore activities") situated in a Contracting State. 

2. An enterprise of a Contracting State which carries on offshore activities in the other Contracting State shall be deemed to be carrying on a business in that other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein. 

3. A resident of a Contracting State who carries on offshore activities in the other Contracting State, which consist of professional services or other activities of an independent character, shall be deemed to be performing those activities from a fixed base in that other Contracting State. 

4. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (2) of this Article, profits derived by an enterprise of a Contracting State from the operation, in connection with offshore activities, of ships or aircraft which are in their existing state designed primarily for the purpose of transporting supplies or personnel, or of tugboats or anchor handling vessels, shall be taxable only in the State in which the place of effective management of the enterprise is situated. However, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to profits derived during any period in which such a ship or aircraft is contracted to be used mainly for purposes other than to transport supplies or personnel to or between places where offshore activities are being carried on. 

5.
a) Subject to sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) of this paragraph, salaries, wages and similar remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment connected with offshore activities in the other Contracting State shall, to the extent that the duties are performed offshore in that other Contracting State, be taxable only in that other Contracting State. 
b) Subject to sub-paragraph (c) of this paragraph, salaries, wages and similar remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment exercised aboard a ship or aircraft, to the profits from the operation of which paragraph (4) of this Article applies, shall be taxable only in the Contracting State in which the place of effective management of the enterprise is situated. 
c) Unless documentary evidence is produced to the competent authority of the other Contracting State that arrangements have been made for the payment of tax thereon in the Contracting State which has the sole right to tax the remuneration in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph, such remuneration may also be taxed in that other Contracting State.

1. This Convention shall come into force on the date when the last of all such things shall have been done in the United Kingdom and Denmark as are necessary for the entry into force in the United Kingdom and Denmark, and shall thereupon have effect:

b) in Denmark, for any taxable year beginning, in either case, before 1st January 1981. 

5. The Agreement dated 18th December 1924 between the United Kingdom and Denmark for the Reciprocal Exemption from Income Tax in certain cases of Profits accruing from the Business of Shipping shall terminate upon entry into force of this Convention.
