What is a permanent establishment?

Last updated 4 December 2006

A permanent establishment of an Australian resident company is a place through which the business of the company is carried on. The term 'permanent establishment' is defined in section 6 of the Act.

If the listed country is one with which Australia has a double taxation agreement, the meaning of the term permanent establishment is determined by the agreement.

Permanent establishments are referred to as branches in this part.
