In today’s borderless business environment, companies can unknowingly create a Permanent Establishment (PE) in foreign jurisdictions—triggering corporate tax obligations, audits, and penalties. At Borderless Lawyers, we provide in-depth PE risk analysis to help you identify, manage, and mitigate taxable presence across borders.
Whether you’re hiring remote teams, contracting with local agents, or delivering cross-border services, we assess your global footprint to ensure your activities stay legally compliant and tax-efficient.
