This book integrates legal, economic, and administrative materials
about the value added tax (VAT) to present the only comparative
approach to the study of VAT law. The comparative presentation of
this volume offers an analysis of policy issues relating to tax
structure and tax base as well as insights into how cases arising
out of VAT disputes have been resolved. Its principal purpose is to
provide comprehensive teaching tools - laws, cases, analytical
exercises, and questions drawn from the experience of countries and
organizations around the world. This second edition includes new
VAT-related developments in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia and
adds new chapters on VAT avoidance and evasion and on China's VAT.
Designed to illustrate, analyze, and explain the principal
theoretical and operating features of value added taxes, including
their adoption and implementation, this book will be an invaluable
resource for tax practitioners and government officials.
Account of the critical role students played in the history of an
urban public law school. Most histories of law schools focus on the
notable deans and professors, and the changes in curricula over
time. In Detroit's Wayne State University Law School: Future
Leaders in the Legal Community, Alan Schenk highlights the students
and their influence on the school's development, character, and
employment opportunities. Detroit's Wayne State University Law
School begins by placing the school in historical context. Public
law schools in major American cities were rare in the 1920s. WSU
Law School started as a night-only school on the brink of the Great
Depression. It was administered by the Detroit Board of Education's
Colleges of the City of Detroit and was minimally funded out of
student tuition and fees. From its opening days, the school
admitted students who had the required college credits, without
regard to their gender, race, or ethnic backgrounds, when many law
schools restricted or denied admission to women, people of color,
and Jewish applicants. The school maintained its steadfast
commitment to a racially and gender-diverse student body, though it
endured significant challenges along the way. Denied employment at
selective law firms and relegated to providing basic legal
services, WSU law students pressed the school to expand the
curriculum and establish programs that provided them with the
credentials afforded graduates from elite law schools. It took the
persistence of the students and a persuasive dean to change the
conversation about the quality of the graduates and for law firms
representing the largest corporations and wealthiest individuals to
start hiring WSU graduates who now heavily populate those firms. In
the twenty-first century, the school gained strength in
international legal studies and established two law centers that
reflect the institution's longstanding commitment to public
interest and civil rights. While much of the material was gathered
from university and law school archives, valuable information was
derived from the author's recorded interviews with alumni, deans,
and professors. This book will strike the hearts of WSU law school
students and alumni, as well as those interested in urban legal
education and history.
