Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication considers the interpretation of tax treaties primarily from the standpoint of public international law. The principal purpose of this study is to analyse and discuss the rules and principles of international law relevant to the interpretation of treaties in general, and their application to tax treaties in particular. The rules of international law enshrined in articles 31, 32 and 33 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties are therefore central to this study. Where appropriate, reference is made to the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, and to the law and procedure of other international court and tribunals. Considers also the extent to which the relevant rules and principles of international law are binding on domestic court and taxpayers. The importance of international law for the purpose of the interpretation of tax treaties is illustrated by a number of leading cases decided by the Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad).

Book excerpt: A detailed and comprehensive study of the issues faced by judiciaries when dealing with tax treaty law cases. It begins with an overview of some of the questions that domestic courts have to deal with when facing treaty cases. It then provides a comparative look into the structure of tax judiciaries and the issues raised by the burden of proof in cases dealing with the application of tax treaties. The different approaches of judiciaries of common law and civil law countries are also taken into consideration. A particular focus is devoted to the interaction between European law principles and bilateral tax treaties, both from the point of view of national judges and the Court of Justice of the European Communities, as well as the relevance of foreign court decision in interpreting tax treaties and the twofold influence between decisions issued by national courts and the Commentaries to the OECD Model Tax Convention. 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.

Book Synopsis The Legal Status of the OECD Commentaries by : Sjoerd Douma
Download or read book The Legal Status of the OECD Commentaries written by Sjoerd Douma and published by IBFD. This book was released on 2008 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s, the legal basis of the practice of tax administrations and courts around the world to conform to the Commentaries when interpreting and applying bilateral tax treaties based on the OECD Model has been the subject of an ongoing academic debate. Recently the debate has received new impetus, and the primary focus is now on the general principles of international law. In particular, opinions differ on the question whether the Commentaries can be a source of legal obligations through the principles of acquiescence and estoppel, both of which are founded on considerations of good faith, and equity and provide specific protection of settled expectations. The reports contained in this book address two questions. The first is whether, under international law, the states parties to a tax treaty are legally bound by the OECD Commentaries when interpreting and applying the provisions of the treaty which are identical to those of the OECD Model. The second question is whether, under the contracting states' internal law, taxpayers and the tax authorities are equally bound to apply the Commentaries if and when the contracting states themselves are so bound under international law. The book brings various legal disciplines - public international law, international tax law, Community law and constitutional law - together in order to resolve the legal status of the Commentaries. Through interdisciplinary debate, the issues have been defined clearly and the exact points at which the opinions differ are identified, thereby resulting in a better understanding of the issues at hand.
Book Synopsis Multilingual Texts and Interpretation of Tax Treaties and EC Tax Law by : Guglielmo Maisto (jurist.)
Download or read book Multilingual Texts and Interpretation of Tax Treaties and EC Tax Law written by Guglielmo Maisto (jurist.) and published by IBFD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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).

Book Synopsis Judicial Interpretation of Tax Treaties by : Carlo Garbarino
Download or read book Judicial Interpretation of Tax Treaties written by Carlo Garbarino and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial Interpretation of Tax Treaties is a detailed analytical guide to the interpretation of tax treaties at the national level. The book focuses on how domestic courts interpret and apply the OECD Commentary to OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital. Adopting a global perspective, the book gives a systematic presentation of the main interpretive proposals put forward by the OECD Commentary, and analyses selected cases decided in domestic tax systems in order to assess whether and how such solutions are adopted through national judicial process, and indeed which of these are of most practical value. The book operates on two levels: firstly it sets out a clear and comprehensive framework of tax treaty law, which will be an important tool for any tax practitioner. Secondly, the book provides crucial guidance on issues of tax treaty law as applied at domestic level, such as investment or business income, dispute resolution and administrative cooperation.

Book Synopsis Tax Treaty Interpretation by : Richard Xenophon Resch
Download or read book Tax Treaty Interpretation written by Richard Xenophon Resch and published by Tredition Gmbh. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study clarifies the meaning and application of Article 3(2) of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital. It maps the entire historical debate on the provision, illuminates flawed assumptions and misunderstandings in its course, and outlines how these continue to fuel the current controversies. In addition, it provides a comprehensive analysis of German case law concerning the interpretation of tax treaties and examines the extent to which the German Federal Fiscal Court has been influenced by views developed in doctrine. Finally, it clarifies the relationship between Article 3(2) and the rules on treaty interpretation codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the meaning of 'context', and how the condition 'unless the context otherwise requires' is to be applied. Thereby, an approach is submitted that is firmly based on public international law principles and transcends the current controversies into a holistic synthesis.

Book Synopsis Tax Treaty Interpretation by : Sergio André Rocha
Download or read book Tax Treaty Interpretation written by Sergio André Rocha and published by . This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the normative concepts referred to in tax treaties are susceptible to contextual variation, the rules embedded in such treaties cannot be applied without interpretation. In this incomparable book, an internationally known tax law practitioner and scholar draws on decades of knowledge-gathering to present a deeply evolved general theory of tax treaty interpretation, thoroughly discussing the starting points and elements of interpretation that should be considered by all stakeholders in the field of international taxation. In the course of his rigorous commentary, the author invokes the established canons that apply to the interpretation of tax treaties, including the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and the OECD and UN Model Conventions. He presents a detailed investigation of the implications for tax treaty interpretation of such topics and issues as the following: essential concepts such as "context" and "qualification"; evolution of international taxation from bilateralism to multilateralism; specific interpretation issues raised by bilateral tax treaties; economic crises as drivers for changes in international taxation rules; the OECD/G-20 BEPS project; digitalization of the economy; pandemic, war, and deglobalization; interpretation of international treaties versus interpretation of domestic laws; and interpretation of double tax conventions in countries that are not OECD members. In the absence of a declaration of international tax principles, this book's in-depth analysis of the theory of interpretation of international tax treaties--given the risks of interpreting treaties with different jurisdictions and different languages--will ensure an appropriate understanding of the current context of international taxation, providing practitioners and policymakers with a fully informed background that will guide the interpretation of any international tax treaty.

Book Synopsis The Effect of Directives Within the Area of Direct Taxation on the Interpretation and Application of Tax Treaties by : Mees Vergouwen
Download or read book The Effect of Directives Within the Area of Direct Taxation on the Interpretation and Application of Tax Treaties written by Mees Vergouwen and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recognition of the considerable attention in recent years given to the effect of EU directives on tax treaties, this important book for the first time brings a combined public international law and European Union law perspective to bear on certain directives – primarily the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, the Merger Directive, the Interest and Royalty Directive, and the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives – and their interaction with tax treaties concluded by EU Member States. In this area of direct international taxation, the author examines the effect of tax treaties on both the interpretation and application of directives in depth. In clarifying how directives can affect or are allowed to affect, tax treaties, the book provides detailed analyses of such aspects as the following: status of directives under public international law, including relevant provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and the OECD Model Tax Treaty; whether national law aimed at implementing a directive may be able to override a tax treaty or may be overridden by such a tax treaty; whether the lex posterior and lex specialis conflict rules under public international law are applicable to conflicts between directives and tax treaties; the role of directives under the interpretative provision of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the OECD Model Tax Treaty and the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting; legal basis and application of the duty of consistent interpretation to tax treaties; and scope of the primacy of directives with respect to tax treaties. The book offers insightful and well-informed recommendations aimed at aligning the ‘allowed’ effect under public international law and the ‘required’ effect under the laws of the European Union of the directives on tax treaties, with a view to ensuring that directives affect tax treaties in such a way that tax treaties cannot prevent achievement of the result of a directive. The analysis is based primarily on legal doctrines, literature, and case law of the CJEU, ICJ, and arbitral tribunals. As a highly informative and closely reasoned guide that offers clear perspectives on resolving any conflict that may arise between a directive and a tax treaty, this book will be of inestimable value for tax practitioners and advisers, judges, policymakers, tax authorities, and academics whose work involves tax treaties concluded by EU Member States.
Book Synopsis Access to Treaty Benefits by : Desiree Auer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rigorous analysis of various aspects related to treaty access Tax treaty access is an ongoing challenge for both taxpayers and tax authorities. This volume provides a rigorous analysis of various aspects related to treaty access. Schematically, the volume is divided into four parts. The first part deals with general interpretative issues and principles; the second and third parts cover a wide range of sub-aspects relating to the subjective and objective scope of tax treaties and the recent challenges posed to tax treaty access, while the fourth part focuses on the knotty issues of treaty shopping and abuse. The structure of the volume reflects the necessity to approach access to treaty benefits in a holistic way and view the recent trends through a wide lens. All chapters contain a complete examination of the relevant topics, starting from a historical perspective and continuing with tax treaty law principles and tax practice analysis. Where appropriate, a domestic law and domestic courts’ jurisprudence perspective was added as well as a comparative analysis of several jurisdictions thus complementing the examination of each topic. Finally, special attention is given to treaty abuse and the new GAAR introduced in the 2017 OECD Model together with its interrelation with other treaty and domestic anti-abuse provisions and the impact of these provisions on tax treaty access and tax policy in general.
