 Resumen: De entre las aportaciones del Reglamento 650/2012, relativo a las sucesiones transfron­terizas, sobresale la introducción de la elección de la ley sucesoria por parte del causante. Para justificar la institución y su inclusión en el instrumento europeo es fácil imaginar una suerte de correlación natural entre la libertar de testar existente en Derecho civil y la posibilidad de designar la ley aplicable propia de las herencias internacionales. Con todo, la doctrina prefiere invocar la seguridad y previsibilidad que la professio iuris proporciona en la planificación de la sucesión. No es ésta, sin embargo, la línea que está siguiendo la jurisprudencia registral española, pues, en sus resoluciones, se ha basado más en la libertad de testar que en la seguridad jurídica.Palabras clave: sucesión mortis causa, libertad de testar, sucesiones internacionales, elección de la ley sucesoria, elección tácita, seguridad jurídica.Abstract: Among the features of Regulation 650/2012, on cross-border successions, the introduc­tion of the testator’s choice of the succession law stands out. In order to justify the institution and its inclusion in the European instrument, it is easy to imagine a kind of natural correlation between the free­dom of testation, granted by national law, and the possibility to select the applicable law which is charac­teristic of international inheritances. Nevertheless, scholars tend to invoke the security and predictability that professio juris provides in the estate planning. Yet resolutions stemming from Directorate General for Registries and Notary Affairs are based more on the freedom of testation than on legal certainty.Keywords: succession upon death, freedom of testation, cross-border successions, choice of law, tacit choice of law, legal certainty

<p>In order to regulate the development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, the State General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation issued a new policy on April 8, 2016 to abolish the provisions of cross-border e-commerce items based on postal tax, and uniformly pay customs duties and value-added value based on imported goods, tax and consumption tax. This also means that the state has gradually begun to shift from the principle of encouragement and promotion to the standardization and promotion of the cross-border e-commerce industry. Based on this, this article elaborates on the impact and countermeasures of the new tax reform on cross-border e-commerce retail import companies.</p>

In July 2020, the Executive Power submitted Bill no. 3887-2020 as the first step towards a wide reform of the Brazilian tax system. It will replace the current PIS/COFINS (charged on turnover of companies) by the CBS (a tax on goods and services), which includes a special regime for cigarettes. The novelty is that the specific cigarette tax will be charged on the highest retail price per cigarette brand across the country. This research simulates three scenarios that differ according to the price-setting strategy of the tobacco industry in reaction to the proposed tax reform. In all simulations, the tax reform would result in considerably higher cigarette prices, lower cigarette consumption, higher tax collection, and an implicit minimum price that is far above the current official price floor. Furthermore, the price dispersion and cross-border shopping across states would be reduced because prices and tax burden per brand would tend to be the same across the country due to the dominant price-setting strategy in the cigarette industry.
