1 IBFD Course Programme International Tax Aspects of Permanent Establishments

2 Overview and Learning Objectives This tax course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth analysis of the concept of permanent establishment (PE). Practical issues, such as the allocation of profits and triangular cases involving PEs, will be covered. The theoretical sessions are complemented by case studies to ensure that participants leave the course with the confidence to apply the knowledge obtained. Emphasis will be placed on a number of complex tax issues relating to PEs, such as non-discrimination, e-commerce, triangular cases and the problems surrounding agency PEs. The OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan, particularly Action 7 (Prevent the artificial avoidance of PE status), will be analysed and discussed. PE issues that may arise from tax planning through business restructuring will also be examined. This is an interactive course with a maximum of 32 participants. Participants will have access to relevant online collections on the IBFD Tax Research Platform for a period of two weeks. Presentations will be made available in electronic format. Field of Study Taxes Who Should Attend? The course is suitable for practitioners in tax advisory firms, tax specialists in commerce and industry, finance professionals who wish to gain a complete understanding of the subject, tax authorities and government officials.
