This section outlines the current taxation framework, its potential challenges for the EU-Inc model and presents recommendations to enhance efficiency and offers recommendations to improve efficiency and establish the EU-Inc as a credible and globally recognized entity.

‣ Applicable Law and Current Dilemma

Tax systems rely on the concept of a "head office" or central management to determine a company's tax residency and liability. However, this model may present challenges for the EU-Inc, which is designed for seamless cross-border operations. Multiple jurisdictions may claim tax rights over the profits of an EU-Inc company, leading to potential double taxation, which creates uncertainty and could undermine the model's credibility.

Existing options for companies operating in multiple jurisdictions, such as establishing a Permanent Establishment (the “PE”) or forming a local subsidiary, each have their own complexities. Defining a PE involves navigating detailed rules on activity duration, agents, and profit allocation, often leading to ambiguity. Managing multiple subsidiaries offers legal separation but introduces administrative burdens and increases compliance challenges, particularly in relation to diverse tax regulations and double taxation treaties.
