Abstract: The production, distribution, and access to creative content are facilitated by the development and diversification of digital technologies. This necessitates clarification of certain aspects regarding the taxation of income derived from the exploitation of intellectual property rights. A permanent establishment is the place where a non‑resident conducts their activities, either fully or partially. In this context, the permanent establishment represents the location where creative activities are carried out. In this study, we aim to highlight the main consequences related to the taxation of income derived from the exploitation of intellectual property rights when such income is obtained through a permanent establishment. We will analyze scenarios involving multiple states, including the state of residence and the state where the permanent establishment is located.

Keywords: permanent establishment, income tax, intellectual property rights, non‑residents, royalties.
