In the following chapters the attention is paid to the role of the OECD Model Tax Convention, OECD Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters, the Convention of Strasbourg, the European Directive 77/799 and the Council Regulation 1789/2003. Further, the author examines the interests of the taxpayers and gives outlines for a system of legal protection of taxpayers' right.
