In this episode of Taxed Out, Vanja Podinic and Colin Little explore why data centre arrangements are attracting intensive and coordinated scrutiny across jurisdictions. They discuss the rise of whole-of-code reviews blending permenant establishment (PE), transfer pricing, intangible licensing and anti-avoidance, and how digitalised business models challenge traditional concepts like “fixed place of business”. The conversation highlights the pressure points and divergent international approaches and practical takeaways.
