Permanent establishment: only profits attributable to the PE may be taxed in the source state, using arm's length attribution. Article 7 allocates taxing rights for business profits by reference to the existence of a permanent establishment; only profits attributable to that permanent establishment may be taxed by the State where it is situated. Profits are attributed as if the permanent establishment were a distinct and separate enterprise dealing independently, with allowable deductions for expenses incurred for the permanent establishment's business. Where application of the separate-enterprise standard is impossible or unreasonable, profits may be apportioned or estimated on a reasonable basis consistent with the Article; purchases of goods alone do not give rise to attributed profits.
