Global Perspectives on Income Taxation Law Summary

Global Perspectives on Income Taxation Law by Reuven Avi-Yonah (Irwin I. Cohn Professor of Law and Director of the International Tax LLM Program, Irwin I. Cohn Professor of Law and Director of the International Tax LLM Program, University of Michigan Law School)

In Global Perspectives on Income Taxation Law, Reuven Avi-Yonah, Nicola Sartori, and Omri Marian cover basic, corporate and international tax law from a comparative perspective. The book both supplements readings in US tax law courses and serves as a textbook for a comparative tax law class. The book starts with a theoretical analysis of the field of comparative tax law. It then follows the usual order of topics covered in a basic tax course as taught in most U.S. law schools, and for each topic, the authors highlight possible alternatives or policy choices. The authors frequently consider the U.S. approach as a benchmark, comparing it with approaches used in other countries which form an interesting contrast, or a telling similarity. They consider the multiple purposes of studying comparative tax law: helping to advance successful tax reforms, cultural understanding, political values, legal harmonization, and a better understanding of domestic tax laws.

Global Perspectives on Income Taxation Law Reviews

This book is a welcome addition to the literature on comparative income taxation, providing a policy-based overview of key features of the income tax systems of a goodly number of countries. The book not only describes country differences in tax rules but hazards some explanations as to why we might see such differences. The level of detail is sufficient to capture the key features of the rules, while avoiding undue burden on the reader. It makes accessible material that might otherwise be difficult to find. The analytical approach should stimulate further thinking and research. --Victor T. Thuronyi International Monetary Fund Given our international economy, Global Perspectives on Income Taxation Law is an insightful resource for those teaching a basic income tax course or a tax policy seminar. The comparative perspective provides a thought-provoking look at the tax policy choices made by Australia, Brazil, Israel, various European countries, and the United States. The authors reward readers with an excellent synthesis of the basic principles of income tax law while proving their thesis that the comparative study of tax law leads to a deeper understanding of the implications of these tax policy choices. --Tracy A. Kaye Professor of Law, Eric Byrne Research Fellow, Seton Hall University School of Law Chair, Teaching Taxation Committee, Tax Section, American Bar Association
