We were pleased to take part in the webinar and cross-jurisdictional panel discussion examining "Permanent establishment risks" together with colleagues of Linklaters: Could a simple locker create a taxable presence? Could a “home office” be the effective place of management? These and other related questions underscore the intricate and often surprising complexity of international tax obligations that our 'Managing Permanent Establishment and Tax Residence Risk' webinar touched upon. The expert speakers Caroline Borgers, Daniele Buchler, Cyril Boussion, Roberto Egori, Benjamin Twardosz, and moderator Dr. Christian Hundeshagen dived into these areas of international taxation, illustrating the tax implications that can arise in cross-border situations. Key insights from the webinar: ⚪ Determining the effective place of management: The place of strategic as well as day-to-day management decisions – including the preparation of such decisions – can significantly affect tax liabilities across jurisdictions. ⚪ Evolving understanding of permanent establishment: The focus is now on undisclosed or hidden permanent establishments from which sales support services to foreign group entities have been provided. ⚪ Measures to mitigate tax risks and exposures: Strategies like a review of set-up/local footprint and transfer pricing, as well as voluntary disclosure procedures were discussed. A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed. Stay connected for more thought-provoking discussions on cross-border tax strategies and complexities! Feel free to reach out to Benjamin Twardosz in case you missed the webinar – we are happy to provide you with further insights. #QualityMatters #CERHAHEMPELStrategicFit
