The taxation of business profits

According to the stipulations of this treaty, the profits gained by a Czech enterprise can be taxed only in this state. The exception is represented by the situation when a corporation carries on business in Belgium too, through a permanent establishment situated therein. When determining the business profits of a permanent establishment, certain expenses are deducted - expenditures incurred for the purpose of the permanent establishment and executive and general administrative expenses. 

The deduction of these expenses is done only in the state where the permanent establishment is situated. The method of apportionment is customary for the taxation of business profits of a permanent establishment.
