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 Squaring the Circle : The Role of the OECD Commentaries by : Dachi Kinkladze
Download or read book Squaring the Circle : The Role of the OECD Commentaries written by Dachi Kinkladze and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are lots of debates concerning the exact role of OECD Commentaries in tax treaty interpretation process. The current work tries to asses the role of the commentaries for interpretation of DTAs concluded between Non-OECD and OECD states. In order to reach the above goal the legal status of the OECD Commentaries under public international law in particular the interrelation of the Commentaries with the Articles of 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention is discussed. The great importance is attached to the case law analysis of the Non-OECD states to find out how the courts consider the Commentaries and to what extent they are bound with it. The work also triggers the problem of ambulatory and static interpretation of the Commentaries as well as the problem of using "foreign law" in different legal traditions.
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 699 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 Other Income under Tax Treaties by : Alexander Bosman
Download or read book Other Income under Tax Treaties written by Alexander Bosman and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilateral tax treaties are often, to a greater or lesser extent, based on the OECD Model Convention. Among the distributive rules with respect to taxation of income which are laid down in Chapter III of that model, Article 21 assigns the tax jurisdiction in respect of "other income" - understood to mean items of income which are not dealt with in other provisions of the tax treaty - to the residence state in accordance with the main rule underlying the OECD Model, thus ensuring that no income falls outside the scope of the treaty. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Article 21 of the OECD Model. In extensive detail, and with reference to case law from a number of jurisdictions and to statements of various authorities and official documents, the author shows how Article 21 operates in relation to the other distributive rules of the OECD Model and bilateral tax treaties based thereon. The analysis considers such items of income as the following in relation to Article 21: - income from immovable property; - business profits; - profits from shipping, inland waterways transport, and air transport; - dividends, interest, and royalties; - capital gains; and - income from employment. In addition, the author examines the significance of the OECD Commentaries for the interpretation of tax treaties, the "other income" article in other model conventions, and notable deviations from Article 21 among bilateral tax treaties. An appendix offers well-grounded recommendations on how to potentially amend the wording of Article 21 and the related commentary and how the application of the article can be improved. Although underexposed in the tax law literature heretofore, the "other income" article raises important international taxation issues that remain problematic or unresolved. Tax lawyers, government officials, and other interested professionals will find here a penetrating analysis that goes a long way towards clarifying the characterisation of income that resists the standard categories defined in tax treaties.

Book Synopsis International Taxation of Permanent Establishments by : Michael Kobetsky
Download or read book International Taxation of Permanent Establishments written by Michael Kobetsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of the growth of multinational enterprises and globalization in the past fifty years have been profound, and many multinational enterprises, such as international banks, now operate around the world through branches known as permanent establishments. The business profits article (Article 7) of the OECD model tax treaty attributes a multinational enterprise's business profits to a permanent establishment in a host country for tax purposes. Michael Kobetsky analyses the principles for allocating the profits of multinational enterprises to permanent establishments under this article, explains the shortcomings of the current arm's length principle for attributing business profits to permanent establishments and considers the alternative method of formulary apportionment for allocating business profits.

Book Synopsis References to the OECD Commentaries in Tax Treaties : a Steady March from "soft" Law to "hard" Law?. by : C. West
Download or read book References to the OECD Commentaries in Tax Treaties : a Steady March from "soft" Law to "hard" Law?. written by C. West and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article addresses, in part, the use of the OECD Commentaries with respect to the interpretation of bilateral tax treaties. However, the article has as its focus those instances in which a tax treaty or protocol to a tax treaty, in the main, directly reference the OECD Commentaries as an interpretational rule. Such direct references to the OECD Commentaries spark a number of questions and reopen issues such as the hard law/soft law dichotomy; the static versus ambulatory nature of the OECD Commentaries; policy reasons for such inclusions and the consequences of such inclusions. This article equally provides the base from which the rise of such references can be monitored. The article collects and analyses the direct references, stratifying these "rules" into types while looking for trends. While the number of instances remains low relative to the total number of bilateral comprehensive tax treaties worldwide, the inclusions of such rules equally open the debate regarding the formation of customary international law. Currently, these rules may simply achieve the aim for which they appear to have been created, being the affirmation that the parties consider the OECD Commentaries as a key interpretational resource and, although still to be tested, to force the courts to actively consider the rules in making judgments in tax treaty matters.

This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-trial resolutions, often referred to as settlements, have been the predominant means of enforcing foreign bribery and other related offences since the entry into force of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention 20 years ago. The last decade has seen a steady increase in the use of coordinated multi-jurisdictional non-trial resolutions, which have, to date, permitted the highest global amount of combined financial penalties in foreign bribery cases. This study is the first cross-country examination of the different types of resolutions that can be used to resolve foreign bribery cases.

Book Synopsis Non-discrimination in Tax Treaty Law and World Trade Law by : Kasper Dziurdź
Download or read book Non-discrimination in Tax Treaty Law and World Trade Law written by Kasper Dziurdź and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-discrimination is a central obligation under both tax treaty and trade law. However, in seeking to strike a balance between national and international interests, its application differs in the two areas of practice. This deeply researched and authoritative work, which explains the policy issues and how non-discrimination analysis works, provides a comprehensive review of non-discrimination rules in WTO and tax treaty law, combining a critical commentary on case law with proposals for an innovative concept for solving cases of discrimination in tax treaty law. Among the practical issues affecting non-discrimination examined in detail are the following: implications that can be drawn from the concepts of non-discrimination under WTO law and Article 24 of the OECD Model; direct and indirect discrimination and analysis of comparability in WTO law and tax treaty law; the MFN and NT rules under the GATT and GATS; the meaning of ‘likeness’ and ‘less favourable treatment’; claiming non-discriminatory tax treatment before tax administrations and courts under a tax treaty; justification of measures against harmful tax competition, low taxation and hybrid mismatch arrangements; thin capitalisation rules, progressive tax rates, foreign losses, group taxation and relief from juridical and economic double taxation under Article 24 of the OECD Model; and integrating a justification defence into any stage of a non-discrimination analysis. The author establishes to what extent formal, substantive and subjective approaches may be applied in a non-discrimination analysis, providing the reasons for the approaches taken. A two-step comparability procedure is applied to selected cases of potential tax discrimination, demonstrating how policy arguments can be addressed under Article 24 of the OECD Model. Drawing on over a half-century of case law in both areas of practice, this comprehensive study of the non-discrimination rules under WTO law and international tax law will be invaluable in systematically solving cases of tax discrimination under Article 24 of the OECD Model and putting forward arguments at any stage of a WTO analysis. Policymakers will benefit from the author’s clear explanation of how national law should comply with international obligations. Also, taxpayers’ advisers will proceed confidently in claims of tax treaty discrimination, and academics will discover an incomparable overview and analysis of anti-discrimination rules in international trade law and double taxation conventions.
