This course deals with the basic concepts and principles of international tax law from a truly international perspective. It examines the sources that go to make up international tax law, how those sources of law fit together, and what the main current issues of international tax law are.

Participants will acquire a structured understanding of the concepts and principles of international tax law. They will learn what to look for when dealing with international tax situations, the questions to ask, the different approaches of national tax systems to the most important issues and how to apply double taxation treaties. Perhaps most importantly, participants will see the whole framework of international tax law, so that they have the background knowledge and confidence to pursue specific enquiries independently.

Participation is of benefit to professionals who have some experience of national taxation, and who now have to deal with international taxation, as well as anyone who needs to acquire a thorough understanding of the basics of international tax law, from a truly international perspective and not from the perspective of a particular country.
