International taxation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International taxation is a subject of study that deals with international tax treaties and international aspects of domestic income tax laws. Multi-national corporations usually employ international tax specialists to decrease their worldwide tax liabilities. International taxation is a specialty among both lawyers and accountants. Several universities offer degree programs in international taxation, including the University of Florida Levin College of Law, European Tax College, a collaboration between the Catholic University of Leuven and the Universiteit van Tilburg, the University of Sydney, Universiteit Maastricht, New York University, and the International Tax Centre, University of Leiden, Netherlands.
[edit] Comparative taxation laws
Usually a sub-branch of international taxation, international comparative taxes studies try to analyse the structural and analytical difference between several tax systems. Consequently, technical issues are of minor importance.
