Courses:
Domestic and international taxation is rapidly evolving in light of technological advancements (e.g., blockchain, machine learning) and new business models (e.g., digital platforms). Also, international cooperation, digitalization, and shifts in geopolitical weights are challenging the traditional norms of taxation as never before. Not only the boundaries and norms of substantive taxation are under scrutiny, but new technologies also create opportunities and challenges to transform the traditional ways of interaction between states and taxpayers and between tax administrations. This course will serve as a guide through these developments and will highlight core developments in substantive and procedural tax law.
