What is permanent establishment risk?

Permanent establishment is a tax term that applies to certain businesses with an ongoing presence in a country. Permanent establishment risk is determined by many factors, including time the business has operated in the country, how the company generates revenue, where strategic decisions are made, and even where the server on which the website is stored is located. Any number of factors can combine to cause a company to enter permanent establishment risk.

Any business that operates in multiple countries is potentially exposed. Avoiding permanent establishment risk requires ongoing review of local laws and regulations, as labor laws and individual companies are constantly evolving.
