Why this book?

This book presents the proceedings from the inaugural Academic Tax Conference (ATC), held in Amsterdam on 16-17 May 2024. The conference, centred on the theme “Blueprint for Individual Taxation Reform in a Globalized World,” brings together leading scholars and practitioners to explore critical issues in personal income taxation.

While corporate income taxation has long dominated international tax discussions, individual taxation remains underexplored in the global policy arena. Recent developments, including the United Nations’ focus on high-net-worth individuals, signal a shift towards prioritizing personal income taxation on the international stage. However, comprehensive reform addressing the fundamental aspects of individual taxation is still absent. This book seeks to address this gap by examining the pressing need to include personal income taxation in global tax discussions, particularly in light of increased labour mobility, digital work models and growing tax competition between jurisdictions.

The book is structured into six parts, grouping chapters by related themes, while offering diverse perspectives and conclusions. Part I examines tax nexus criteria, exploring how globalization and digitization challenge traditional principles of residence, source and citizenship, while considering redistributive tax policies. Part II focuses on differentiated tax liabilities for mobile individuals, using game theory to analyse jurisdictional competition and proposing a framework for assessing harmful tax regimes, similar to corporate tax standards. Part III delves into tax treaties, addressing the complexities of determining tax residence and proposing new taxing rights for employment and service income through withholding taxes. Part IV discusses the potential justification and design of an EU personal income tax based on citizenship, exploring possible models and their challenges. Part V tackles cross-border philanthropic giving, suggesting reforms to overcome its national limitations. Finally, part VI investigates the taxation of pension income in cross-border situations, including EU efforts to harmonize pension tax policies.

This book not only provides a theoretical foundation for understanding the current landscape but also serves as a practical guide for shaping future reforms in personal income taxation in an increasingly interconnected world.

This book explores the need for comprehensive individual taxation reform in a globalized world, addressing key challenges such as labour mobility, digital work and tax competition.
