Course Content (Syllabus)
In the European Tax Law course, issues such as the prohibition of tax discrimination and the tax harmonization of indirect and direct taxes are considered. In the context of the harmonization of indirect taxes, the establishment of a common VAT system is mainly examined, while issues related to the treatment of VAT fraud are also examined. In the context of the harmonization of direct taxes, both the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Directives, such as the Directive on the common tax regime for cross-border business restructuring operations, the Directive on the taxation of savings interest, the Directive on parent - subsidiaries, the Cross-Border Mergers Directive, etc. etc. Actions at the EU level to deal with tax evasion, tax avoidance, aggressive tax planning, harmful tax competition, erosion of the tax base, such as the Package of measures to deal with tax evasion, are also examined. Also examined are the measures taken at the EU level on the one hand to improve tax transparency, such as in particular the Directive on the exchange of information, and on the other hand to resolve tax disputes at the EU level, such as the Arbitration Convention and the Directive on the resolution of tax disputes differences. Also, issues related to EU tax policy and administration are considered. In this context, the discussion regarding decision-making on tax issues, the removal of tax obstacles for cross-border economic activities, the assessment tools of tax administrations, etc. are mainly considered.
