Australian Tax Treaties
Where an item of income, profits or gains derived by an individual is exempt from tax in a Contracting State by reason only of the status of that individual as a temporary resident under any applicable taxation laws of that State, no relief shall be available under this Agreement in the other Contracting State in respect of that item of income, profits or gains.
2
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, a benefit under this Agreement shall not be granted in respect of an item of income, or, in the case of the Federal Republic of Germany, of capital, if it is reasonable to conclude, having regard to all relevant facts and circumstances, that obtaining that benefit was one of the principal purposes of any arrangement or transaction that resulted directly or indirectly in that benefit, unless it is established that granting that benefit in these circumstances would be in accordance with the object and purpose of the relevant provisions of this Agreement.
3
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the application of any provision of the laws of a Contracting State which is designed to prevent the evasion or avoidance of taxes. Where double taxation arises as a result of the application of any such provision, the competent authorities shall consult for the elimination of such double taxation in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 25 .
