Online Conference Tax Treaty Case Law Around The Globe 2020
Organized by the European Tax College of the Fiscal Institute Tilburg, in joint venture with the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law.
Introduction & Program
Our Conference aims at presenting and discussing the most interesting Tax Treaty Cases online, which had been decided in 2019 all over the world. We are grateful that outstanding experts of more than 22 jurisdictions coming from five continents agreed to present the most relevant decisions taken in their countries. The conference covers 36 tax treaty cases. The main topics we identified have been clustered into eight “baskets” which will be dealt with in our eight conference sessions:
- Session 1: Taxes Covered, Interpretation and Residence
- Session 2: Permanent Establishment
- Session 3: Business Profits and MFN Clauses
- Session 4: Beneficial Ownership
- Session 5: Royalties
- Session 6: Labour Income
- Session 7: Relief from Double Taxation
- Session 8: Exchange of Information and MAP
In each session of the online conference, tax treaty cases will be presented and subsequently analyzed in a critical discussion. This discussion includes the possible impact of the cases on the interpretation and application of tax treaties in other countries. Participants are invited to join the discussions actively. Please, see for further details the program.
The scientific results of the conference will be published in a book by the IBFD.
The opening of the online session of the Conference is on Friday, May 15, 2020, at 9:30. The conference opening and welcoming take place at 9:45. All time slots are Central European Time (CET).
