International Taxation Handbook 4th Edition

"In light of increasing globalisation and complexity of international finance and investment, the publication of International Taxation provides a timely contribution on the important and topical issues facing international business, government and society.
 
 
 
With insights from theoretical and empirical research, incorporating international comparisons as well as country-specific analyses, on evolving issues, such as securitisation and related party transaction, this book provides valuable reading for educators, practitioners and policymakers."
Professor Janice Loftus, University of Sydney School of Business, Australia
 
 
 
"Taxes matter and they do so in an increasingly international arena. Policy makers have to understand which decisions they can autonomously take, how they are affected by other tax jurisdictions and how firms may respond to taxation structures. Businesses need to understand how to respond to the challenge of tax and the opportunity of increased mobility. This book provides insight into these issues and is therefore relevant for businesses and policy makers alike."
Jochen Zimmerman, Professor of Accounting and Control, University of Bremen, Germany
