Dependent agents with contract authority, agents maintaining stock for regular delivery, or those habitually securing orders attribute a permanent establishment to the enterprise, while independent agents acting in the ordinary course of business do not, except where their activities are devoted mainly to the enterprise or commercial relations are non-arm's-length. Insurance enterprises collecting premiums or insuring risks via non-independent persons are similarly attributed a permanent establishment.
