The main issues that are connected to the concept of a permanent establishment are artificial avoidance of the status of a permanent establishment, the use of transfer pricing rules in order to artificially allocate the profits of a permanent establishment to low tax states and finally that some enterprises that operate within the digital economy can avoid the status of a permanent establishment due to the lack of physical presence.
