Appt. of foreign director in 100% subsidiary of Foreign co.

A 100% Indian subsidiary of a foreign company wishes to appoint a foreign national as director after an Indian director vacated the office. There is no other Indian on the board. 

Whether this action would result of the company being treated as a PE as the management and control would go into foreign hands ?

An elaborative answer would be a welcome. 

Thanks

Dear Sandeep,

Plz specify in which context u r talking..

What difference would it make even if it becomes a PE as u have mentioned..

Dear Amir,

If the company becomes a PE then the iincome relatable to its business in India shall also become taxable in India, as the Indian company pays Royalty and also receives services of technical nature from the foreign company ?

Dear Sandeep,

Having a 100% Subsidary in India, doesn't make it a PE of the Foreign Company..

Because PE as defined   includes a fixed place of business through which the business of the enterprise is wholly or partly carried on;

Since a Subsidary Co is a entity different from it's Holding Company it cannot be said as a PE of Foreign Company..

The fact that it has all foreign director's have no relevance..

Dear Sandeep,

Needless to say that provisions of TRANFER PRICING shall APPLY.
