EU and Third Countries
European tax law is no longer just a matter for the internal market, but also affects relations with third countries. Starting from a comparison between the broad differences in two scenarios, this teaching module will categorize third countries as a function of their type of relations with the European Union and address them in the light of relevant case law (European Court of Justice and those of national courts, including third countries), the applicable treaties (e.g. Economic and Partnership Agreements, Savings Agreements, bi- and multilateral tax conventions) and domestic tax rules. It will also address the recent development connected with the implementation of the BEPS project and affecting the relations of the European Union with third countries. The focus of this course will be mainly on direct taxation.
