This is a verified summary rather than a verbatim reproduction. Consult the official Arabic text, the Law and later decisions before making a final determination.
What does the Article mean in plain language?
Allocate PE payroll and assets from separate accounts subject to location requirements, without counting them again at the Main Entity. Specified income exclusions require proportionate substance exclusions. Allocate flow-through amounts to owners by income share and the employee/asset location conditions; unallocated amounts may be ineligible. Compute stateless and investment entity substance separately under their rules. Group costs cannot be freely shifted to maximise the exclusion.
Tax, accounting and financial-modelling teams responsible for the final computation.
Allocate payroll and assets once to the correct entity and jurisdiction without duplication at head-office level.

Is this Article enough on its own?
Usually not. Read it with the connected Law Article, definitions, any effective election and current NBR guidance, especially for an amount or deadline.
Does NBR guidance replace the Regulations?
No. Guidance explains application and supports procedures and examples, but current legislation and decisions prevail in case of inconsistency.
