Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This report discusses, from a tax policy perspective, the problems associated with permitting countries to tax profits attributable to computer servers (that is, computers that have been networked to the Internet). Part I discusses reform efforts where OECD member states agreed that, under traditional international tax principles, a server can constitute a permanent establishment in some circumstances. Part II describes how the OECD has attempted to constrain abusive tax planning through proposed profit attribution rules regarding e-commerce profits and servers. Part III argues that the one-two punch of these reform efforts will result in a test that emphasizes economic presence instead of physical presence, a significant departure from traditional international tax principles.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
