Cross-Border Remote Work Post-OECD 2025: Managing Permanent Establishment Risks and Enabling Compliant Global Mobility

The OECD's 2025 Update to the Model Tax Convention introduces critical new guidance on cross-border remote working, particularly clarifying when a home office may create a permanent establishment (PE) under Article 5, with emphasis on time thresholds, commercial necessity tests, and short-term arrangements. This provides greater certainty for multinational employers embracing hybrid and remote models, while addressing unintended tax exposures in an increasingly digital workforce. In this panel, Deloitte experts will explore the practical implications for global mobility programs, compliance challenges in the Asia-Pacific region, and innovative solutions, including tools like Mobility Advantage for tracking remote work patterns, assessing PE risks, and ensuring treaty-compliant employee deployments. Attendees will gain actionable insights to balance talent flexibility with tax efficiency in the post-2025 landscape.
