DESCRIPTION
This course discusses the principles and mechanisms of international (direct) taxation of companies, the contents and effects of EU corporate tax directives and the impact of EU case law on the tax systems of EU Member States. The emphasis is on concepts rather than on technical details. The perspective is multilateral (mainly OECD and EU) rather than domestic, although examples of approaches and systems of various OECD Member States will be given. Furthermore, there is a course on VAT and custom duties in relation to international trade.
