Online research - Use and appreciation of tax information
The ambition of IBFD is to publish tax information that exactly meets the needs of tax practitioners. This requires continuous research. For this reason we have asked the renowned research agency Millward Brown to survey the way tax practitioners use tax information and how they value the tax information available. Within a week's time subscribers to IBFD Newsletter will receive an invitation by e-mail to fill in an online questionnaire. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated. Of course, we will keep your data confidential.

Towards a Homogeneous EC Direct Tax Law

Two major questions are raised in this empirical study: Do taxpayers in the EU have access to the fundamental freedoms provided for in Arts.18, 39, 42, 48 and 56 EC?  Has Community law been applied homogeneously within the EU in twenty years of ECJ case law on direct taxation?

The book aims to improve the understanding of the effects of the ECJ’s case law by providing a comparative review of the practices of the respective courts and tribunals when a case raises an issue of EC tax law.
Price: EUR 120 / USD 150 | Pages: 500 | ISBN: 978-90-8722-03-7
