Why this book?
The ongoing global tax governance is bringing international tax law to unprecedented levels of coordination, backed up by technical consultations with stakeholders. This book in honour of Guglielmo Maisto is the outcome of a theoretical and practical research project involving all its contributors, which rank among the most authoritative experts of international tax law. The goal of this book is to supplement the process of international tax coordination with a comprehensive independent conceptual review of the current issues and future challenges of international tax law.
This book is structured into five parts, which address the most fundamental areas of international tax law. Part One focuses on Model Tax Conventions and addresses issues of tax treaty interpretation (Section 1), allocation rules (Section 2) and other clauses (Section 3). Part Two puts the emphasis on the more specific issues involving bilateral tax treaties and domestic tax law, including the relations with them. Part Three brings in the picture the interaction with supranational law of the European Union and allows the readers to see how the latter affects international tax law and tax treaties, providing a conceptual analysis that can also be of interest for global readers. Part Four analyses the relations with non-tax treaties, including in particular bilateral investment treaties. The latter treaties are being increasingly used by taxpayers, as non-State actors of international law, to overcome the shortcomings connected with the absence of effective legal remedies under tax treaties. Finally, Part Five presents topical studies on key issues of international tax law, which relate to the past, present and future (including reform) perspectives of international tax law.
