Abstract In this article, it will be analyzed, from the perspective of doctrine and jurisprudence, the implications of some international aspects of tax legislation, under the auspices of the latest changes in the field of taxation made by Romania. For this purpose, it will be analyzed the implications of the new fiscal provisions regarding the international aspects from the perspective of Law no. 296/2020. In this sense, it will be focused upon certain issues such as international double taxation, transfer prices, affiliated businesses and corporate tax. Also, the case presented in the jurisprudence section enriched in the second part of the article comes to support the framework of the future application of the new provisions regarding certain fiscal aspects with elements of foreignness in Romania. The results of the research subsumed in this article highlight the fact that the tax legislation in Romania has had a significant improvement, especially in terms of international aspects of financial and tax law. In conclusion, both the analysis of the evolution of tax legislation and the case law presented show that there are significant improvements at a national level, both in terms of the quality of the enactment of a tax law and the way in which the provisions of the law are implemented in practice.

The author offers a way to eliminate harmful double taxation within the Single European Market. Although the Single European Market has been the central core of the European unification, its completion has yet to be achieved. Particularly, double taxation between the Member States of the EU is an enduring problem without any viable solution in sight. The ECJ holds in settled case law that the fundamental freedoms comprise no ban of genuine juridical double taxation. The author examines art. 293 2nd dent EC as a possible solution. This article opens the instruments of international tax law for purposes of European tax law. The analysis concludes that the article comprises a commitment to eliminate double taxation within the European Single Market by using double tax treaties. The core of this article is drafted into a directive, transferring the analysis into current law. The author is a lawyer and a certified tax advisor in Stuttgart, Germany.

In order to determine what major developments have taken place in tax law in Israel over the last 40 years, it is first necessary to formulate criteria with which to estimate the importance or centrality of changes in tax legislation. The emphasis here is on legal developments (in legislation and case law) rather than on changes in the tax system and tax policy. In the field of taxation, legal, economic and social questions are, however, interlinked; and it is moreover, a legal tool — legislation — that determines the tax system and its composition of various tax bases.

The size of international trade continues to extend rapidly from day to day as a result of the globalization process. This situation causes an increase in the economic activities of businesses in the trading area. One of the main objectives of the cost system applied in businesses is to be able to monitor the competitors and the changes that can be occured as a result of the developments in the sector. Thus, making cost accounting that is proper according to IAS / IFRS and tax legislation has become one of the strategic targets of the companies in most countries. In this respect, businesses should form their cost and pricing systems according to new regulations. Transfer pricing practice is usefull in setting the most proper price for goods that are subject to the transaction, in evaluating the performance of the responsibility centers of business, and in determining if the inter-departmental pricing system is consistent with targets of the business. The taxing powers of different countries and also the taxing powers of different institutions in a country did not overlap. Because of this reason, bringing new regulations to the tax system has become essential. The transfer pricing practice that has been incorporated into the Turkish Tax System is one of the these regulations. The transfer pricing practice which includes national and international transactions has been included in the Corporate Tax Law and Income Tax Law. The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of goods and services transfer that will occur between departments of businesses on the responsibility center and business performance, and also the impact of transfer pricing practice on the business performance on the basis of tax-related matters. As a result of the study, it can be said that transfer pricing practice has an impact on business performance in terms of both price and tax-related matters.

The role of proportionality and individual assessments in EU residency and welfare access cases has changed significantly over the course of the last decade. This article demonstrates how a search for certainty and efficiency in this area of EU law has created greater uncertainty, more legal hurdles for citizens, and less consistency in decision-making at the national level. UK case law illustrates the difficulty faced by national authorities when interpreting and applying the rules relating to welfare access and proportionality. Ultimately, the law lacks the consistency and transparency that recent CJEU case law seeks to obtain, raising the question of whether the shift from the Court's previous, more flexible, case-by-case approach was desirable after all.

AbstractTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper focusing on the interpretations issued by different Portuguese courts concerning the application of the accrual principle established in the Corporate Income Tax Code.This paper uses a database of the Portuguese tax courts’ decisions and employs a case law-based research methodology to address the following question: under which circumstances the principle of justice may affect the strict application of the accrual principle? After collecting twenty-four legal decisions related to the application of the accrual principle outlined in tax law, this paper summarises eleven, grouping them according to the different issues under dispute. This analysis also includes the confrontation of the assumptions used by the tax authority and the claims of the taxpayers, identifying and discussing the legal arguments to override the strict application of the accrual principle.The main conclusion is that Portuguese courts may summon the principle of justice in taxation when taxpayers violate the accrual principle, in order to prevent unfair corrections to taxable income performed in tax audits. This paper found that the tax authority typically demands a rigid use of the accrual principle while the taxpayers often argue for a more flexible application. This last perspective has been adopted by the tax courts in certain circumstances, in particular when taxable income transfer was not motivated by tax avoidance.
