Permanent Establishment
In an increasingly digital and globalised business environment, even limited operations in a foreign country can trigger Permanent Establishment (PE) risk - and with it, local tax obligations and scrutiny.
At CAVOK Advisory, we help you identify and assess potential PE exposure across jurisdictions, interpret evolving guidance, and take practical steps to mitigate risk.
Whether you’re operating as usual, expanding to new markets, or simply unsure if a local presence crosses the threshold, we provide clear, business-focused advice to keep your structure compliant and future-ready.
Permanent Establishment (PE) Assessment
We assess your cross-border activities - such as local employees, agents, warehousing, or digital presence - to determine whether they create a PE under local tax laws and international treaties.
Future proofing
We provide forward-looking guidance as part of market entry, group restructuring, or business model redesign to ensure PE risk is considered early and addressed proactively.
Risk Mitigation
We advise on practical ways to manage or reduce PE exposure - through contract structuring, functional adjustments, or business model changes - without compromising your commercial goals.
Documentation
We assist in preparing transfer pricing documentation, position papers, and supporting documentation to defend against unwanted PE risks, and to support voluntary disclosures and tax authority queries.
