Against the background of advancing globalisation, the problem of taxation of foreign income or assets is the fundamental challenge and pitfall of the 21st century. The BEPS Project (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) is a project launched by the OECD in 2013. The BEPS refers to tax avoidance strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in taxation rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations. Over 100 countries are collaborating to implement the BEPS measures. This Project provides fifteen actions that equip governments with the domestic and international instruments.
We are faced with the need to study the legal consequences of the BEPS Project. For this reason, Deparment of Financial Law at Maria Curie Sklodowska University in Lublin invites to the First Edition of the Expert Seminar on Tax Law. The aim of the Seminar is to create a forum in order to develop an exchange of experiences ansprovoke a further debate on the direction of the BEPS Project implementation. The subject matter of the Expert Seminar on Tax Law includes: limiting base erosion, transfer pricing outcomes and documentation, harmful tax practices, preventing the granting of treaty abuse, the effects of hybrid instruments and entities, the rules for the taxation of controlled foreign corporations.
The Expert Seminar on Tax Law takes place on 20 October 2017 at Maria Curie Sklodowska University in Lublin.
