OECD releases additional guidance on attribution of profits to a permanent establishment under BEPS Action 7

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released the final Additional Guidance on the Attribution of Profits to a Permanent Establishment (the Report) on March 22, under the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action 7 report (Preventing the Artificial Avoidance of Permanent Establishment Status). The Report provides additional guidance on the attribution of profits to permanent establishments (PEs) resulting from the changes to Article 5 of the OECD Model Tax Convention (MTC), as outlined in the final report on BEPS
Action 7. The Report sets out general principles for the attribution of profits to PEs in light of the changes to Article 5 of the OECD MTC.

A Global Tax Alert, attached below, provides additional details.
