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 sea-bed 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.

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.

   3. 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.
