there is a specific mention of permanent establishment in the DTAA with Netherland as under:

"The profits of an enterprise of one of the States shall be taxable only in that State unless the enterprise carries on business in the other State through a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on business as aforesaid, the profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other State but only so much of them as is attributable to that permanent establishment".

What is the meaning of this permanent establishment.
I would like to mention that there is contractor of netherland who has to under take the job of development of "Hockey Surface Ground" in Mumbai" within a stipulated period say six months to one year". Whether the contractor will come under the permanent establishment category. there is no specific mention of TDS in the DTAA.
