Recent Judgements/Orders:

• In continuation with our earlier update with regard to the judgment of the Borgarting Court of Appeal in the case of Dell Products, it is worthwhile to draw attention to the recent judgment dated 02 December 2011 of the Norwegian Supreme Court which has effectively overruled the order of the Norwegian Court of Appeal and held that the Norwegian company Dell AS acting as a commissionaire agent for Dell Products did not create a permanent establishment for them. For further details refer LEGAL UPDATES.

• Recently, the Borgarting Court of Appeal, Norway in the case of Dell Products has held that in case a foreign company is found to have a dependent agent permanent establishment (DAPE) in the source country, the dependent agent and the DAPE would be regarded as two distinct tax payers and would be taxed accordingly.  Thus, it rejected the single tax payer approach. For further details refer LEGAL UPDATES.
