Hugh J. Ault
In this Editorial, the authors explain the context of this special issue of the Bulletin for International Taxation.

Some Reflections On The Oecd And The Sources Of International Tax Principles, Hugh Ault
Hugh J. Ault
This article is the revised text of a lecture held on May 2, 2013, at the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance.

After describing these positive law developments, Ault relates to more basic questions of how principles of international tax law, and particular the normative claims to taxing rights, are established.

Corporate Integration, Tax Treaties, And The Division Of The International Tax Base: Principles And Practices., Hugh J. Ault
Hugh J. Ault
In this Article, Professor Ault begins with an examination of the evolution of treaty principles for the allocation of and restrictions on international taxing jurisdiction. He then focuses on how economically based principles dealing with the taxation of international income affect treaty policy and presents the basic structural provisions involving the taxation of foreign income and foreign investors that emerge from domestically enacted or proposed integration systems. The technical aspects of the actual treaty practices that have been implemented with respect to integration systems are then related to the theoretical discussion.

Who Is Making International Tax Policy? International Organizations As Power Players In A High Stakes World, Diane M. Ring
Who Is Making International Tax Policy? International Organizations As Power Players In A High Stakes World, Diane M. Ring
Diane M. Ring
Who makes international tax policy in today’s world? Certainly no single body possesses that power - there is no global tax authority, and states are not capable of achieving all of their international tax policy goals on a unilateral basis. The development of international tax policy is an interactive and dynamic process that involves a wide range of players, most of whom can be characterized as international organizations. Their roles, goals, tools and influence vary by organization and by issue, but their net impact on tax policy is undeniable. If we are to better understand how tax policy is formed, …

The Promise Of International Tax Scholarship And Its Implications For Research Design, Theory And Methodology, Diane M. Ring
Diane M. Ring
What should international tax scholars be doing? Over the past two decades, international tax has grown both as a practice area and as a field of study. Scholars have begun devoting significant attention to the development, design, and implementation of international tax law. This activity is accompanied by a reflection on the scholarship and its goals, method and content. A review of modern international tax scholarship reveals that as the field has matured, international tax scholars have increasingly turned to other disciplines, especially social sciences, to draw upon their insights, ideas, and research to improve understanding of international tax policy. …
Democracy, Sovereignty And Tax Competition: The Role Of Tax Sovereignty In Shaping Tax Cooperation, Diane M. Ring
Democracy, Sovereignty And Tax Competition: The Role Of Tax Sovereignty In Shaping Tax Cooperation, Diane M. Ring
Diane M. Ring
This paper considers the question of how sovereignty shapes arguments over the merits of tax competition and how sovereignty influences the design of responses to tax competition. Part I provides a basic overview of sovereignty concepts, in particular their relevance to a nation-state desirous of control over tax policy. Part II defines tax competition, identifies the different kinds of states involved, reviews the emergence of the OECD project to limit harmful tax competition, and traces the EU experience with tax competition. Part III explores the normative grounds for challenging tax competition and the role of sovereignty in shaping and limiting …

New Art. 25(5), added to Art. 25 (Mutual agreement procedure) of the OECD Model as part of the 2008 Update, provides for the mandatory arbitration of unresolved issues arising in the course of a mutual agreement procedure.

Reflections On The Role Of The Oecd In Developing International Tax Norms, Hugh Ault
Hugh J. Ault
On September 8–9, 2008, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) held a Special Conference commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the OECD Model Tax Convention (“Model Convention” or “Model”). The Conference was attended by over 650 participants from the private sector and the government, representing over 100 countries. Both the level of participation and the geographical diversity represented at the conference would seem concrete evidence of the perceived importance of the role of the OECD in developing international tax norms. In his remarks opening the conference, the OECD Secretary General noted that the success of the OECD Model was …

Improving The Resolution Of International Tax Disputes, Hugh Ault
Hugh J. Ault
The dramatic increase in international trade and investments and related phenomena under the general heading of Globalization have multiplied the situations in which international tax disputes can arise, both between taxpayers and governments but also, and in some ways, more importantly, between governments themselves. These disputes may involve transfer pricing issues, differing income characterization rules, disagreement about the existence of a permanent establishment, or more generally, diverging views on the appropriate exercise of potential taxing rights by the source country jurisdiction and the corresponding obligation of the residence country to provide double tax relief. In the current circumstances, it seems …
