Information

Aims, contents and method of the course


This course explores the foundations of international tax law, equipping students with a thorough understanding of key concepts and legal instruments, in particular, double taxation conventions. We begin by examining the phenomenon of international juridical double taxation and the primary legal sources that shape international taxation. The course then delves into critical issues surrounding the taxation of cross-border income-generating activities. Key topics include: (1) the interaction between double tax treaties and domestic tax law, (2) interpretation of double tax treaties and their terms, (3) eligibility for and the scope of double tax treaty benefits, (4) the concept of residency in tax treaty law, (5) the nexus requirements for source state taxation, and (6) the mechanisms designed to eliminate juridical double taxation.
