This applies equally to: &nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>digital and IT services;<\/li>\n<li>online consultations;<\/li>\n<li>call center work;<\/li>\n<li>remote customer service, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Decisive importance will be given to the actual circumstances, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>how much the employee works remotely from another country;<\/li>\n<li>and whether there is a commercial reason for the employee to work from abroad, where their home or another significant location is. Such a commercial reason will be seen in all cases where the employee&#8217;s physical presence abroad contributes to the company&#8217;s business operations in that country. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5><span class=\"TextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\">50% <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\">work time threshold<br\/><\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW216277387 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><br><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The new OECD guidelines introduce a quantitative benchmark that makes it easier to assess PE risks.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, if an employee works from home or another private location abroad for less than 50% of their total working time (in any 12-month period), this location will not be considered a place of business for the company abroad, and therefore, a permanent establishment will not arise.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, this threshold acts as a practical \u201csafe harbor\u201d for:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>temporary work from abroad;<\/li>\n<li>seasonal living in another country;<\/li>\n<li>hybrid work arrangements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even if an employee works 50% or more of their working time from abroad, it does not automatically mean that the company will have a permanent establishment abroad, as it is also necessary to assess whether:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>this location is sufficiently permanent (not just temporary);<\/li>\n<li>business activities are carried out there, not just auxiliary functions;<\/li>\n<li>there is a commercial reason for the work to take place specifically from this country.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The commercial reason is precisely the central criterion to be evaluated.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"TextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\">Commercial Reason<br><\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW216277387 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><br><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The OECD indicates that a plausible commercial justification for an employee&#8217;s presence in a particular country can be considered if this presence:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>facilitates regular in-person or real-time collaboration with clients, suppliers, or group companies;<\/li>\n<li>provides access to local resources or expertise;<\/li>\n<li>replaces premises that the company would otherwise have to rent in that country;<\/li>\n<li>allows for real-time service delivery across different time zones;<\/li>\n<li>is necessary for services requiring physical presence (e.g., training, repairs).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In other words, if an employee&#8217;s activity in a particular country essentially facilitates or ensures the company&#8217;s economic activity, the risk of a permanent establishment significantly increases.<\/p>\n<p>A commercial reason will not be identified if working from home is allowed only:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>due to the employee&#8217;s personal considerations (residence, family, lifestyle);<\/li>\n<li>to attract or retain an employee;<\/li>\n<li>to reduce costs (e.g., by not renting an office).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The fact that clients are located in that country will not be sufficient to automatically assume the existence of a commercial reason.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"TextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW216277387 BCX8\">What does this mean for businesses?<br><\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW216277387 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><br><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>For companies that practice hybrid work models or allow employees to work remotely from different countries, it is essential to consider that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>the OECD has reduced the risk associated with temporary, lifestyle-motivated work from abroad, if it is controlled;<\/li>\n<li>at the same time, the guidelines clearly support the identification of a permanent establishment (PE) if employees work from another country for an extended period to \u201cserve\u201d that market, even if the company does not have an official office there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To mitigate risks, it is recommended to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>review remote work and \u201cdigital nomad\u201d policies;<\/li>\n<li>implement time and location tracking;<\/li>\n<li>document the reasons why work is performed in a specific country;<\/li>\n<li>also assess the risk of an agent&#8217;s permanent establishment;<\/li>\n<li>not forget other aspects: immigration, data protection, occupational safety, and foreign labor laws.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Special attention should be paid to cases where an individual is the sole or primary business operator (e.g., an independent consultant).
