This paper addresses the questions whether the provisions of the freedom of secondary establishment require the origin and host states provide identical treatment with regard to subsidiary (resident for tax purposes) and permanent establishment (non-resident for tax purposes) in all respects. The paper highlights the fundamentals of the comparability analysis as well as the basics of the subsequent justification analysis that serve as a preparation for the following consideration of the relevant case law. The contribution also examines the Court's application and evolution of the concept of comparability throughout its case law.

The contribution demonstrates that the tax treatment of subsidiaries and branches re-quired from the host state significantly differs from the one of an origin state due to compound structure of the freedom of secondary establishment as such. It follows, that the requirement of the national treatment from the host state perspective disregards in principle the international tax law distinction between the resident and non-resident taxation.
