Permanent establishment definition: fixed place or dependent agent can create taxable presence and obligations under a cross-border tax treaty. The permanent establishment rule attributes taxable presence to an enterprise that operates through a fixed place of business-such as management offices, branches, factories, warehouses for third party storage, agricultural or extraction sites-or through a dependent agent who habitually concludes contracts, maintains a stock for delivery, or secures orders principally for the enterprise. Exceptions cover activities of a preparatory or auxiliary character and independent agents acting in the ordinary course of business; insurance premium collection or risk assurance via non independent persons also constitutes a permanent establishment.
