This work on international tax aims to strip away the mystique that can surround the subject. International tax is now recognised as an important discipline in its own right. The book sets out to synthesise its most important elements.;The material is designed for the use of finance directors and practitioners looking for practical guidance on international tax planning. Students should also find the book valuable.
Of particular interst is the standpoint from which the book has been written. Concerned exclusively with international tax as it affects multinational companies, the author considers the issues involved in the light of different approaches adopted by a variety of tax regimes. This perspective should also be of benefit to those in business and professional practice who need to be aware of the wider commercial ramifications of international tax planning.
The book offers a clear, logical structure, which is divided into two parts: the first looks at the principal types of tax systems and their interactions, with particular emphasis on the question of double taxation at the shareholder level; the second deals with the major principles of international tax planning.;
