'Avi-Yonah's Advanced Introduction to International Taxation Law is a compact and accessible guide to the field. In effect, he has given us two books in one. The first is a very useful general guide to the basics of the rules and how they work in practice, with illuminating international comparisons to the often distinctive U.S. rules. The second is a clear and spirited defense of Avi-Yonah's particular views about international tax policy. These do not attract consensus in the field - nor do anyone else's views - but they can help stimulate further thinking about these complicated and important issues.'- Daniel Shaviro, New York University, USAdvanced Introduction to International Tax Law provides a concise yet wide-ranging overview of the key issues surrounding taxation and international law from a world authority on international tax.Systems of taxation deviate between jurisdictions and contrasting, income based levies on both individuals and enterprises are implemented depending on the nature or source of income. This dynamic book explores the nuances of the varying taxation systems, offering expert insight into the scope, reach and nature of international tax regimes, as well as acting as an excellent platform for understanding how the principles of jurisdiction apply to tax and the connected tools that are used by countries in imposing taxes.
