What is a Permanent Establishment (PE)?


A Permanent Establishment (PE) is an abbreviation for this term.  

The scope of taxable income for non-residents is generally limited to income sourced in Japan. However, the way income is taxed depends on: 

  • Whether the non-resident has a PE in Japan, 
  • Whether the income sourced in Japan is attributable to the PE, and 
  • The type of income in question.
