12 - 15 Mar 2012International Tax Aspects of Permanent Establishments

This course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth analysis of the concept of permanent establishment (PE). Practical issues, such as allocation of profits and VAT aspects of PEs, will be covered. This will be combined with the use of case studies to ensure that participants leave the course with the confidence to apply what they have learned. 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 latest OECD developments and PE issues that can arise from business restructuring will also be examined.

This is an interactive course with a maximum of 30 participants. Prior to the course, participants will be given access to an documentation platform which provides them with additional pre-reading material and supplementary material (e.g. legal documentation, case law and related articles/literature). During the course, participants will be provided with a course binder containing documents relevant to the course.

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.

 

This is an intermediate level course. Participants should be familiar with the structure of tax treaties and their allocation rules in addition to the domestic law of at least one country, in particular as it relates to cross-border situations. 
 

In order to participate in this particular course, no advanced preparation is necessary. However, for some courses, suggested reading materials will be made available on our documentation platform a few weeks before the start of the course.
 

To safeguard the interactive nature of the course, including group discussions and case studies, a maximum of 30 participants will be accepted. Early registration is therefore recommended.
