Based on a concrete and current court decision, two students in each team are to comprehensively work through the relevant arguments for and against the various possible solutions and interpretations, present them and then discuss them in the plenary session. Subsequently, each seminar participant has to write a written seminar paper on the respective case and the legal issues dealt with therein. The seminar thus essentially consists of two parts: a presentation (together with the partner) and a written paper (alone).
All seminar participants are expected to have a very good knowledge of tax law and an appropriate preparation for the respective seminar topics and court decisions. The aim of the course is not to teach the material, but to critically examine special topics on the basis of practical cases and to practice legal subsumption and argumentation techniques in tax law. Without adequate preparation it will not be possible to follow the contents of the presentations and to participate in the discussion.
