58、d office of the enterprise or any of its other offices.四、如果締約國一方的稅法規定，對于某具體行業，在核定利潤基礎上確定屬于常設機構的利潤，則第二款并不妨礙該締約國執行其法律的規定。但是所得到的結果，應與本條所規定的原則一致。4. Insofar as the tax law of a Contracting State provides with respect to a specific industry that the profits to be attributed to a permanent establishment ar

59、e to be determined on the basis of a deemed profit, nothing in paragraph 2 shall preclude that Contracting State from applying those provisions of its law, provided that the result is in accordance with the principles contained in this Article.五、不應僅由于常設機構為企業采購貨物或商品，將利潤歸屬于該常設機構。5.
