Abstract

There were no reported tax treaty cases from the Danish Supreme Court or the two Danish High Courts in 2020. There were, however, a number of binding rulings from the Tax Assessment Council (skatterådet, abbreviated in Danish as SR and here as TAC) reported in 2020. The binding ruling, reported as SKM2020.208.SR,[2] deals with the question of whether the home office of a key employee constituted a permanent establishment for the company that was the employer. The employee was resident in Denmark while the employer was a company resident in Germany. The ruling is therefore based upon Article 5(1) and 5(2) of the Denmark-Germany tax treaty.
