Permanent establishment definition sets thresholds for fixed place, services, and agent activities triggering tax presence under treaty. Permanent establishment is a fixed place of business through which an enterprise carries on business, with specified examples; preparatory or auxiliary activities such as storage, display, purchasing or information gathering are excluded. Construction sites and service activities give rise to a permanent establishment only when they exceed the duration threshold. Agency rules deem a dependent agent who can conclude contracts, maintains stock for delivery, or habitually secures orders to create a permanent establishment, while independent agents acting in the ordinary course do not, and insurance agencies through non-independent persons also create a permanent establishment.
