and in either case conditions are made or imposed between the two enterprises in their commercial or financial relations which differ from those which would be made between independent enterprises, then any profits which would, but for those conditions, have accrued to one of the enterprises, but, by reason of those conditions, have not so accrued, may be included in the profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly.

e, em ambos os casos, as duas empresas, nas suas relações comerciais ou financeiras estiverem ligadas por condições aceites ou impostas que difiram das que seriam estabelecidas entre empresas independentes, os lucros que, se não existissem essas condições, teriam sido obtidos por uma das empresas, mas não o foram por causa dessas condições, podem ser incluídos nos lucros dessa empresa e, consequentemente, tributados.

Applying the law

Treaty relief between Portugal and France, claimed correctly

Treaty rates are not automatic in Portugal: the recipient must give the payer a form certified by its own tax authority before the tax is due, or claim a refund afterwards. We check which article applies, the rate and the paperwork.
