Existing corporate taxes distort many aspects of firm behavior. To the extent that the corporate tax rate is lower than personal tax rates, taxes favor corporate activity, and favor retaining earnings rather than paying earnings out to employees and investors. Multinationals can even avoid these taxes by shifting income into tax havens. Given the ease with which multinationals can evade tax, the existing income tax structure faces major pressures, as reflected in average statutory corporate tax rates halving in recent decades. The Element speculates on alternative tax structures that will avoid these problems.

Die in zahlreichen Staaten erlassenen Regeln zur Durchbrechung der Abschirmwirkung von niedrig besteuerten auslandischen Tochtergesellschaften inlandischer Unternehmen (so genannte CFC-Regeln) stehen gegenwartig in der Kritik, da sie mit Gemeinschaftsrecht und DBA teilweise nicht vereinbar sind. Gleichzeitig hat sich allerdings der Steuerwettbewerb zwischen den Staaten verscharft, so dass es fur die Hochsteuerlander kaum moeglich ist, auf eine effektive Abwehrgesetzgebung zu verzichten. Auch die jeweiligen Arbeitsgruppen der OECD und der EU sehen die CFC-Regeln als notwendiges Mittel zur Bekampfung des unfairen Steuerwettbewerbs an. Anhand der deutschen und der franzoesischen CFC-Regelung zeigt die Verfasserin die bestehenden Kritikpunkte auf und untersucht die Zukunftsperspektiven der CFC-Regeln vor dem Hintergrund der Bekampfung des unfairen Steuerwettbewerbs.

Die aktuelle Steuerpolitik der Bundesregierung legt die Vermutung nahe, dass zukunftig nicht weniger, sondern mehr Kapital aus Deutschland in das Ausland verlagert wird. Damit gewinnt die Hinzurechnungsbesteuerung an Aktualitat und Bedeutung. Eine bereits seit langem geforderte systemkonforme Regelung ware geboten, ist indes kaum zu erwarten. Im Ruckgriff auf die steuersystematische Intention der Hinzurechnungsbesteuerung zeigt die Arbeit die Steuerwirkungen des aktuellen Rechtsstandes in Deutschland und den USA. Vor dem Hintergrund der bisherigen deutschen Reformbemuhungen werden alternative Ausgestaltungen fur eine kunftige Hinzurechnungsbesteuerung untersucht. Die Analyse schliesst mit der Konzeption einer steuersystematischen Gestaltungsempfehlung an den Gesetzgeber.

According to the doctrine of odious debt, loans which are knowingly provided to subjugate or defraud the population of a debtor state are not legally binding against that state under international law. Breaking with widespread scepticism, this groundbreaking book reaffirms the original doctrine through a meticulous and definitive examination of state practice and legal history. It restates the doctrine by introducing a new classification of odious debts and defines 'odiousness' by reference to the current, much more determinate and litigated framework of existing public international law. Acknowledging that much of sovereign debt is now governed by the private law of New York and England, Jeff King explores how 'odious debts' in international law should also be regarded as contrary to public policy in private law. This book is essential reading for practising lawyers, scholars, and development and human rights workers.

Bringing a unique voice to international taxation, this book argues against the conventional support of multilateral co-operation in favour of structured competition as a way to promote both justice and efficiency in international tax policy. Tsilly Dagan analyzes international taxation as a decentralized market, where governments have increasingly become strategic actors. While many of the challenges of the current international tax regime derive from this decentralized competitive structure, Dagan argues that curtailing competition through centralization is not necessarily the answer. Conversely, competition - if properly calibrated and notwithstanding its dubious reputation - is conducive, rather than detrimental, to both efficiency and global justice. International Tax Policy begins with the basic normative goals of income taxation, explaining how competition transforms them and analyzing the strategic game states play on the bilateral and multilateral level. It then considers the costs and benefits of co-operation and competition in terms of efficiency and justice.

In 1783, a stamp duty was imposed on proprietary or 'quack' medicines. These largely useless but often dangerous remedies were immensely popular. The tax, which lasted until 1941, was imposed to raise revenue. It failed in its incidental regulatory purpose, had a negative effect in that the stamp was perceived as a guarantee of quality, and had a positive effect in encouraging disclosure of the formula. The book explains the considerable impact the tax had on chemists and druggists - how it led to an improvement in professional status, but undermined it by reinforcing their reputations as traders. The legislation imposing the tax was complex, ambiguous and never reformed. The tax authorities had to administer it, and executive practice came to dominate it. A minor, specialised, low-yield tax is shown to be of real significance in the pharmaceutical context, and of exceptional importance as a model revealing the wider impact of tax law and administration.

Stamp Taxes 2021/22 is a comprehensive and practical guide to all current UK stamp and land taxes: Stamp Duty Land Tax (England and Northern Ireland), Stamp Duty (UK) and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (UK), together with commentary on Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (Scotland) and Land Transaction Tax (Wales).

Including numerous examples, with references to legislation, case law and HMRC guidance throughout, this is a practical handbook for those working in tax advisory firms and tax departments of corporate groups and other major investors in UK property and companies. It is also a useful study aid for students and trainees studying for membership of professional bodies.

Modern-day tax treaties have their foundations in one of the three Model Tax Treaties developed by the League of Nations in 1928. Using previously unexplored archival material, Sunita Jogarajan provides the first in-depth examination of the development of the League's Models. This new research provides insights into questions such as the importance of double taxation versus tax evasion; the preference for source-taxation versus residence-taxation; the influence of theory and practice on the League's work; the development of bilateral rather than multilateral treaties; the influence of developing countries on the League's work; the role of Commentary in interpreting model tax treaties; and the influential factors and key individuals involved. A better understanding of the development of the original models will inform and help guide interpretation and reform of modern-day tax treaties. Additionally, this book will be of interest to scholars of international relations and the development of law at international organisations.

Figuring Out the Tax recounts the forgotten early development of the federal income tax in the US, resulting from the interplay between Congress and the Treasury Department in the decades following the enactment of the tax in 1913. It covers a wide range of topics including the income tax treatments of marriage, capital losses, charitable contributions and homeownership, as well as the rise, demise and resurrection of income tax withholding. Lawrence Zelenak deftly illustrates how the income tax achieved its current form through a range of stories which are new to tax history scholarship and involve some remarkable personalities and surprising plot twists. Although of particular interest to tax academics and professionals, this book will also serve as a useful introduction to the development of income tax for undergraduate students and law students.

Tax law changes at a startling rate - not only does societal change bring with it demands for change in the tax system, but changes in the political climate will force change, as will many other competing pressures. With this pace of change, it is easy to focus on the practical and forget the core underpinnings of the tax system and their philosophical justifications. Taking a pause to remind ourselves of those principles and how they can operate in the modern tax system is crucial to ensuring that the tax system does not diverge too far from what it should be or could be. It is essential to understand the answers to some of the seemingly basic questions that surround tax before we can even begin to think about what a tax system should look like. This collection brings together major themes and difficult questions in the philosophical foundations of tax law. The chapters consider practical issues such as justification, enforcement, design, and mechanics, and provide a full and coherent analysis of the basis for tax law. Philosophical Foundations of Tax Law allows the reader to consider how tax systems should move forward in the modern world, with a sound philosophical basis, to provide the practical tax system that the state requires and citizens deserve.

"At the end of the Trail of Tears there was a promise," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the decision issued on July 9, 2020, in the case of McGirt v. Oklahoma. And that promise, made in treaties between the United States and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation more than 150 years earlier, would finally be kept. With the Court's ruling, the full extent of the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation was reaffirmed-meaning that 3.25 million acres of land in Oklahoma, including part of the city of Tulsa, were recognized once again as "Indian Country" as defined by federal law. A Promise Kept explores the circumstances and implications of McGirt v. Oklahoma, likely the most significant Indian law case in well over 100 years. Combining legal analysis and historical context, this book gives an in-depth, accessible account of how the case unfolded and what it might mean for Oklahomans, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and other tribes throughout the United States. For context, Robbie Ethridge traces the long history of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from its inception in present-day Georgia and Alabama in the seventeenth century; through the tribe's rise to regional prominence in the colonial era, the tumultuous years of Indian Removal, and the Civil War and allotment; and into its resurgence in Oklahoma in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Against this historical background, Robert J. Miller considers McGirt v. Oklahoma, examining important related cases, precedents that informed the Court's decision, and future ramifications-legal, civil, regulatory, and practical-for the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, federal Indian law, the United States, the state of Oklahoma, and Indian nations in Oklahoma and elsewhere. Their work clarifies the stakes of a decision that, while long overdue, raises numerous complex issues profoundly affecting federal, state, and tribal relations and law-and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Kaum ein Themenkomplex wird in der steuerpolitischen Diskussion so kontrovers diskutiert, so regelmassig vorubergehend beerdigt und anschliessend wiederbelebt wie die Wiedereinfuhrung einer Vermoegensteuer. Diese Arbeit untersucht, ob eine Vermoegensteuer uberhaupt in verfassungskonformer Weise wiedereingefuhrt werden kann und, falls dies der Fall ist, welche verfassungsrechtlichen Grenzen die Politik dabei zu wahren hat. Hierbei geht die Arbeit insbesondere der Frage nach, ob der so genannte Halbteilungsgrundsatz aus dem Grundgesetz abgeleitet werden kann und wie er zu operationalisieren ist. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, dass eine substanzentziehende Vermoegensteuer verfassungsrechtlich unzulassig ware und dass selbst eine als so genannte Sollertragsteuer ausgestaltete Vermoegensteuer verfassungsrechtlich schwerwiegenden Bedenken unterliegt. Selbst wenn man diese Bedenken ignoriert, ist auf Basis der - verfassungsrechtlich erforderlichen - Anwendung des Halbteilungsgrundsatzes im derzeitigen Steuersystem uberhaupt nur dann Platz fur eine Vermoegensteuer, wenn die Vermoegensteuerschuld bei den Ertragsteuern angerechnet wird. Zustandig fur die Wiedereinfuhrung einer Vermoegensteuer waren derzeit - entgegen der allgemeinen Annahme in Politik und Rechtswissenschaft - die Lander.

Die deutsch-franzoesischen Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen enthalten zur Vermeidung der Doppelbesteuerung Spezialvorschriften fur Immobiliengesellschaften. Im Jahr 2015 wurde mit Art. 7 Abs. 4 eine Vorschrift zu Beteiligungsverausserungen neu eingefuhrt. Dies bietet den Anlass fur eine zusammenhangende Darstellung der bestehenden Abkommensvorschriften zu Immobiliengesellschaften in Einkommensteuer, Vermoegensteuer und Erbschaftsteuer. Die Autorin erlautert hierzu anhand von Grundfallen die Besteuerung in Deutschland und Frankreich bei deutscher Beteiligung an Immobiliengesellschaften mit franzoesischem Immobilienbesitz und veranschaulicht in diesem Kontext das Zusammenspiel zwischen nationaler Besteuerung und Abkommensrecht.
