German Tax Law
The course aims to provide the necessary understanding for a systematic approach to the field of German tax law in general. It discusses basic issues such as the scope of income tax law and corporate tax law, the assessment of taxable income, deductions and refunds, special approaches in taxing labor income as well as capital income and the most important rules and instruments of general tax law. In addition, the most important anti-abuse measures are presented, e.g. CFC rules, extended limited tax liability. On the one hand, the course intends to create a basis for various, more specific courses, and, on the other, to develop an understanding of the interrelations between tax law and constitutional law as well as European law.
