Book excerpt: Taxation of Intellectual Property under Domestic Law, EU Law and Tax Treaties, comprising the proceedings and working documents of an annual seminar held in Milan in November 2017, is a detailed and comprehensive study on the taxation of intellectual property (IP). It begins with a comparative analysis of the domestic private law aspects of IP and the domestic tax regimes applicable to profits deriving from the utilization of IP. It next examines the taxation of IP under EU law, with a particular emphasis on (i) the EU fundamental freedoms and State aid, and (ii) the open issues in the implementation of the EU Interest and Royalty Directive. The book then moves to selected tax treaty issues. In particular, it analyses (i) the historical background and the policy of article 12 of the OECD Model Convention; (ii) the meaning of "royalties" and overlapping between articles 7, 12 and 13 of the OECD Model Convention; (iii) royalties in the context of the OECD Multilateral Instrument under the limitation on benefits (LoB) provision and the principal purpose test (PPT) clause; and (iv) certain selected issues on cross-border transfers of IP. Individual country surveys provide an in-depth analysis of the domestic tax regimes and actual tax treaty application and practices by various states, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China (People's Rep.), France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Book excerpt: The book identifies linguistic issues arising in bilateral income tax conventions and presents an in-dept analysis of tax treaty policies on multilingualism and the administrative practice and case law on the issues raised by the translation of treaties. Individual country surveys discuss the use of legal concepts, including those that do not exist in the legal system of one of the two contracting states and the way such concepts should be interpreted in such state (e.g. trust). Further, the use of concepts in one state that are similar but not identical to a treaty concept that is well known only in the other state (e.g. droit d'auteur vs copyright) are presented. The book also includes special reports on multilingual issues under both art. 33 of the Vienna Convention and art. 3(2) of the OECD Model Convention and Commentaries. Finally, a specific chapter is devoted to the EU law aspects and a review of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

Download or read book Taxation of Companies on Capital Gains on Shares Under Domestic Law EU Law and Tax Treaties written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive study on the taxation of capital gains on shares derived by companies. The book begins by discussing the trends in the taxation of capital gains on shares under domestic law, taking into account the input from various national reports. It then considers the taxation of capital gains on shares in the context of EU law. In this field, issues such as the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, the hindrance to the internal market caused by double taxation of capital gains on shares and the possible impact of the EU income tax directives are examined. Next, the book discusses the taxation of capital gains on shares under tax treaties. The focus initially is on the notion of "capital gains on shares" in the OECD Model Convention and the qualification conflicts possibly arising in this respect. In addition, attention is also devoted to tax treaty aspects of company reorganizations that could trigger taxation of capital gains on shares and to tax treaty provisions regarding shares attributable to permanent establishments and non-discrimination. Finally, the application of domestic and agreement-based anti-abuse rules to transfers of shares is thoroughly analysed, with an eye also on recent rules and doctrines aimed at taxing indirect transfers. Individual country surveys provide an in-depth analysis of the above issues from a national viewpoint in North America, selected European jurisdictions, Australia, China and India.

Download or read book Investment Fund Taxation written by Werner Haslehner and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of the significant changes in tax law at domestic, European, and international levels on investment funds, an important part of global financial services, creates a complex environment for practitioners and a source of debate for academics and policymakers. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive legal and practical analysis of the changes to the complex multilevel tax and regulatory framework concerning different types of investment funds. The contributions, updated as of late 2017, were originally presented at a conference held at the University of Luxembourg in November 2016 under the auspices of the ATOZ Chair for European and International Taxation. The book covers the central questions arising in national law and tax policy, explores the regulatory and tax framework of the European Union (EU), and discusses the multifaceted interactions of both national and EU law with bilateral tax treaties. Through fourteen chapters following a brief introduction, leading academic experts and practising specialists provide decisive insight into: – the regulatory regime for European investment funds; – the tax law and reforms in both Luxembourg and Germany; – the role of the European Commission’s State-aid practices; – examples of case law concerning the application of non-discrimination rules to various investment vehicles; – the impact of tax-specific EU legislation, such as the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, the Tax Merger Directive, and the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive; – the availability of tax treaty protection for different collective and non-collective investment funds; – the impact of base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) developments on the taxation of cross-border investments; – the value-added tax (VAT) treatment of investment funds and their managers; and – the consequences of the global drive towards automatic exchange of information relating to existing cross-border investment structures. With its particular focus on Luxembourg – the leading centre for investment funds in Europe (and second only to the United States globally) and, thus, an instructive model for domestic-level investment fund regulation and taxation – this volume reveals the common issues that arise in virtually every other jurisdiction with a sizeable fund industry. As the first in-depth treatment of the globally significant nexus between investment funds and taxation, the book will prove valuable to policymakers, practitioners, and academics in both financial services and tax law.

Individual country surveys provide an in-depth analysis on how national courts face cases dealing with the application of tax treaties, with a particular emphasis on issues raised by tax treaty interpretation. Lastly, the book deals with issues raised by judicial treaty override, proposes solutions to resolve judicial errors in the context of international tax law and analyses the procedural conditions for the implementation of tax treaty obligations under domestic law.

Download or read book Procedural Rules in Tax Law in the Context of European Union and Domestic Law written by Michael Lang and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely work seeks to identify the differences between the domestic procedural rules and principles of an array of EU and non-EU countries and analyse them in the context of European Union law requirements. Specific attention is paid to the impact of State aid rules on procedural law in tax matters, on constitutional law requirements as well as tax treaty law issues. Since customs law is already harmonized in the form of the Community Customs Code, it serves as a starting point to examine the extent to which harmonized procedural law is possible.

Download or read book Time and Tax Issues in International EU and Constitutional Law written by Werner Haslehner and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is a crucial dimension in the application of any law. In tax law, however, where an environment characterized by rapid change on the national, European, and international levels complicates the provision of accurate legal advice, timing is particularly sensitive. This book is the first to analyse the relationship between time and three key areas of tax: treaties, EU law, and constitutional law issues, such as legal certainty and individual rights. Among the numerous timing issues arising out of applying tax rules, the book addresses the following: – time limits within which relief must be requested; – statutes of limitation for claiming a tax refund; – transitional issues relating to changes in tax treaties; – attribution of profits and expenses to a moving or closed-down business; – effect of tax-related CJEU decisions and EU directives; – compliance of exit tax regimes with free movement; – limits of retroactivity under principles protected by the EU Charter and the ECHR; and – conflict between efficiency of taxation and individual rights. Derived from a recent conference organized by the prestigious ATOZ Chair for European and International Taxation at the University of Luxembourg, the book brings together contributions from leading tax experts from various areas of tax practice, academia, and the judiciary. Among other issues, the book notably expands on how economic theory can inform a constitutional analysis of the timing of taxation. There is no other work that concentrates so usefully on the difficulties associated with applying tax rules – whether arising from treaties, jurisprudence, or policy – to changing circumstances over time. This book will quickly prove itself to be an indispensable resource for European tax lawyers, policymakers, company counsels, and academics.
