About the AuthorPaul Farmer is at Pump Court Tax Chambers. Richard Lyal is a Legal Adviser to the Commission of the European Communities.Product DescriptionTax law and fiscal policy are subjects close to the heart of the Single European Market, yet EC tax law is highly complex. This new edition examines in detail the rules and principles of Community law relating to taxation, and uncovers the links between policy and law-making, to provide a firm understanding of the principles of EC tax law.Review`Review from previous edition...its approach is both analytical and practical. For those involved in maritime and commercial law, it provides a comprehensive and authoritative discussion on complex areas of taxation relevant to transnational contracts within the Community. It was a pleasure to read such a clear exposition of what is normally regarded as a somewhat intimidating subject. The authors are to be congratulated for providing a stimulating work which is well-presented and clearly indexed. They provide a useful list of 'Further Reading' in the fields touched on by their book. EC Tax Law will be well received by those specialised in the field of taxation and those whose work concerns transnatioanl contracts who require some knowledge of the Community dimension which is of ever-increasing significance.'
