Author Description

Product Description<br/><br/>Inspired by a postgraduate course the authors have jointly taught at the University of Cambridge since 2001, Peter Harris and David Oliver use their divergent backgrounds (academia and tax practice) to build a conceptual framework that not only makes the tax treatment of complex commercial transactions understandable and accessible, but also challenges the current orthodoxy of international tax norms. Designed specifically for postgraduate students and junior practitioners, it challenges the reader to think about tax issues conceptually and holistically, while illustrating the structure with practical examples. Senior tax practitioners and academics will also find it useful as a means of refreshing their understanding of the basics and the conceptual framework will challenge them to think more deeply about tax issues.<br/><br/>Book Description<br/><br/>Using a conceptual structure that challenges international tax norms and facilitates understanding of difficult technical issues and practical transactions, this book makes the technical and nuanced world of international taxation accessible.<br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/>Peter Harris is a Reader at the Law Faculty of the University of Cambridge.
