Cross-border tax disputes and recent cases
The ever-growing level of globalization has resulted in an increase, among other things, in cross-border business activities. Cross-border interactions between different business entities and their dealings with the tax authorities of the countries involved are governed primarily by domestic tax laws and a wide range of tax treaties. However, a significant number of cross-border tax disputes are arising worldwide due to various factors, including information asymmetry, disagreements on the facts of a given case, or differing legal interpretations of the same facts as well as varying interpretations of tax treaties.
This webinar examines disputes and key recent cases from North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East related to corporate tax structuring. It provides a broad overview of the main causes of cross-border tax disputes and key recent cases involving the application of anti-abuse rules, as well as the interpretation and application of tax treaties. Our instructors will share their practical experiences on these issues and the challenges that they faced.
