<![CDATA[This research examines the reconstruction of Indonesia’s Permanent Establishment (PE) concept in response to the challenges of the digital economy. The rise of digital platforms and cross-border data transactions has diminished the relevance of the traditional PE definition, which relies on physical presence as the basis for taxation. Through a normative juridical approach, the study analyzes the inadequacy of existing regulations and explores the adoption of the Significant Economic Presence (SEP) principle as a new tax nexus. The analysis demonstrates that SEP offers a fair and modern legal mechanism to capture value creation derived from digital engagement, ensuring fiscal equity and protecting national tax sovereignty.
