Taxation and Tax Planning

International tax law is based on national rules, therefore the course is divided into two main streams: The basics of International and National Taxation. Within International taxation we will deal with three topics: tax treaties, EU tax law and new international trends. National taxation is discussed both from legislation making and taxpayers' point of view. The main topics include the taxation of individuals and legal entities, VAT, sectoral taxes and transfer pricing.
