Profits of Permanent Establishments

International tax principles for attributing profits to permanent establishments (PE) are found in Art 7 of the OECD Model Tax Convention. Ayant identifié d’importantes différences parmi les pays membres concernant législations internes et interprétations de l’Art. 7, l’OCDE a produit un rapport sur son approche préférée sur l’Attribution de Bénéfice aux ES: Parties I: l’approche générale; II: les banques; III: les activités de commerce. Les Parties I-III ont été complétées en déc. 2006. La Partie IV concerne les Compagnies d'Assurance; un projet révisé a été publié en août 2007.
