Recognition of unincorporated branches |

country different from the country of residence of the parent should be treated as notional units,
resident in the country where located under certain conditions. The SNA discusses non-resident
unincorporated enterprises rather than establishments. Should the SNA and BPM be more closely
aligned? |

| AEG recommendations | | Number of AEG recommendations for selected issue: | 1 | | Corresponding meeting | Date posted | Recommendation |  | | December 2004 | 1/11/2005 | Physical presence is not required for a branch to be recognized.
Being subject to income tax laws should replace paying income tax as an indicator of the existence of a branch.
All criteria should be considered as indicators for a separate branch but not all criteria have to be met. Even if the entity does not have a full set of accounts, if it engages in production, it should be treated as a branch.
