2008 Tax Reform—Change in scope of agents deemed to be a ¡ÈPermanent Establishment¡É
The scope of agents (a person who has authority to conclude contracts on behalf of another) deemed to be a permanent establishment (PE)*, the main instrument used to determine taxing jurisdiction over business activities of non-residents and foreign corporations, has been changed. Specifically, agents of independent status (agents with independent qualifications of a general commission agent, broker etc. and acting as such in the ordinary course of business) have been excluded from the definition of agent PEs.
This change applies to determinations made on or after April 1, 2008 in connection with whether an agent will create a PE
*Permanent Establishment A Permanent Establishment (PE) includes a branch, office, construction site and other fixed place of business. International taxation rules provide that no tax will be imposed in principle when no PE exists. Accordingly, if a non-resident or foreign corporation has no PE in a contracting state, business income will not be subject to domestic taxation in that contracting state.
