Translated to a digital business model:
Uber etc., they have a dual principle model. There is nexus, we are in art. 9 OESO. A US and
NL company, which have control over DEMPE functions; principles. Routine entities in the
other countries; signing on the riders, signing with the restaurants etc. Royalty’s are paid;
difficult to price. The local in market activities; these are entities, look art. 9; service
provider, look at TNNM; cost plus. However, in the business model of Uber they can also
enter a new market in a neighboring country; attract drivers and restaurants no nexus, no
PE; don’t have art. 9/5/7 active in a market without presence. They have a very
centralized business model.
