Providing a clear introduction to the basics of international taxation and presenting its material in a global, non-jurisdictional context, this title explains the principles, policy, and legal issues central to cross-border taxation.

This title is used by practitioners, including in-house finance teams and advisers, as well as many undergraduate and postgraduate students studying business and law degrees. It is widely used by candidates studying for the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT).

The 10th Edition is again fully updated to cover significant developments, including:

· Emerging global challenges including trade disruption and unprecedented use of tariffs as well as increased prevalence of environmental taxes, green incentives and carbon border adjustment mechanisms to tackle climate change.

· Increasing compliance and administration costs, including through digitalisation that is expected to bring benefits but will create new layers of complexity for businesses, especially in relation to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

· Progress on the G20/OECD BEPS 2.0 including Pillar One and the use of unilateral digital services taxes, and the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two) and its implementation challenges.

· Growing concern about the challenges posed by increased mobility and remote working practices, which cut across corporation tax, employee taxes and sales taxes.

· The negotiations and implications of the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.

· Recent developments in tax transparency, including new reporting obligations such as the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and the Global Reporting Initiative.
