Alienation means the sale, exchange, transfer, or relinquishment of the property or the extinguishment of any rights therein or the compulsory acquisition thereof under any law in force in the respective Contracting States.
Alienation is used in connection with events giving rise to capital gains. This will include normal disposals of assets and also events such as exchange of assets, expropriation, gifts and the passing of assets to another on death. Not all States levy tax in all these situations, but the meaning of the term “alienation” is sufficiently wide to give them the right to do so if their domestic law provides for a charge to tax in a particular situation. Some particular cases where the general rule applies are set out: • There is the usual rule that gains on alienation of movable property forming part of the assets of a permanent establishment may be taxed by the Contracting State where the permanent establishment is situated, including gains from the alienation of the permanent establishment, whether or not as part of the alienation of the whole enterprise. Thus, for example, the sale of a wholly owned company resident in State A and owned by a resident of State A could give rise to a tax charge in State B if that company has a permanent establishment in State B. This would be covered by the general rule giving the Situs State taxing rights but is set out for completeness. • Gains from the disposal (alienation) of shares in a company whose underlying assets consist mainly (whether directly or indirectly) of immovable property situated in the other State may be taxed by the State in which the property is located. • Gain from the disposal (alienation) of shares in any other company where the shares disposed of represent a participation in the company of at least 25% may be taxed in the State in which the company is resident. Paragraph 6 states the general rule under the UN Model Treaty, that gains derived from any property other than that dealt with specifically above may be taxed in the State where the property is situated. This does not oblige the Situs State to tax the gain but gives it the right to do so if it chooses. Domestic law China Non-residents are taxed on gains on the disposal of Chinese property via a withholding tax. Czech Republic Non-residents are taxed on gains from immovable property and related rights situation in the Czech Republic and on gains on movable property in the Czech Republic if related to a permanent establishment which the non-resident has there. Gains on the disposal of shareholdings in Czech companies and cooperatives are also taxable unless, from January 1, 2009, the person making the disposal is a qualifying parent company resident in th...
