A Global Analysis of Tax Treaty Disputes
2 Volume Hardback Set

'Eduardo Baistrocchi’s outstanding new book on tax treaty disputes is the result of an intense five-year global collaborative project among international tax scholars, practitioners and administrators. The book provides an unprecedented set of information and offers the first global qualitative and quantitative analysis on one of the most important debates over international tax scholarship across the last decades, that is, whether an international tax regime exists and is binding upon states as a matter of customary international law.' Reuven Avi Yonah, Tax Notes International

'This two-volume book deserves to be mentioned because of its exceptionally rich content and its original approach. … At a time of harmonization of international tax law at a global level, this treatise is particularly welcome.' Daniel Gutmann, Translated from Revue de Droit Fiscal

'The volume charts a new course and should be explored by professionals interested in international taxation and, in particular, by those working on dispute resolution pertaining to tax treaties.' Parthasarathi Stone, Business Standard

'This is an important addition to the international tax disputes literature containing interesting statistics, a useful categorisation of cases from different countries on a particular topic, and a wide range of country chapters.' John Avery Jones, British Tax Review

‘Based on the country-by-country analysis of the leading tax treaty disputes in 27 jurisdictions, this book drew four significant conclusions on the cutting edge issues of contemporary international tax law, ranging from global taxonomy of the patterns of tax treaty disputes, global evolutionary path of tax treaty dispute resolution, implications of triple non-taxation and BEPS, and to global quantitative analysis of tax treaty disputes.’ Haiyan Xu, Beijing Law Review

'The main interest of the treatise lies in its comprehensiveness as well as in its critical approach to the subject. It is a very ambitious work containing the largest compilation to date in one single book of cases dealing with controversies related to double taxation treaties. Roughly 1,600 cases are cited related to the application of treaties listed both country-by-country and thematically. The cases are listed in the treatise’s first volume, which offers a classification based on various criteria, i.e., the country where the controversy takes place and, also, in the so-called 'Golden Bridge', an analytical listing of cases sorted out according to the precepts of the OECD Model Convention. This listing, along with the chart on page 1443, offers a unique picture of the type of controversies that have been resolved within the 1923 to 2015 timeframe covered by the treatise.' Violeta Ruiz Almendral, Crónica Tributaria

'Baistrocchi’s collection is a must-have for readers interested in tax treaties. It might aptly be referred to as 'the definitive encyclopedia on tax treaty case law'. Work by 42 authors spans 27 countries and provides an analysis of over 580 tax treaty cases. … This review does not do justice to the rich resource that this double volume provides for tax practitioners, policy makers, and scholars with an interest in tax treaty disputes. It is a stand-out contribution in the area.' Kim Brooks, Revue fiscale canadienne

‘Both Eduardo Baistrocchi and his publisher Cambridge University Press are to be congratulated for having the courage, energy and discipline to produce this excellent publication. A book, even in two volumes, with the title A Global Analysis of Tax Treaty Disputes might ordinarily seem to be an over-ambitious project but this publication is a triumph. There are both scope and scale in this book which makes it unique in tax academic literature. The publication will also be immensely valuable in taxation practice, administration and jurisprudence for reasons discussed below. In short, the book is a remarkable reflection of legal analysis and likely to be of huge assistance in international tax disputes, but more generally in tax legal scholarship.’ Craig Elliffe, Australian Tax Review

‘A Global Analysis of Tax Treaties Disputes helps in identifying both promises and risks, and is an invaluable resource for policymakers in designing their next move as well as for the future assessment of new policies.’ Tsilly Dagan, Modern Law Review

‘… the book contributes for a better understanding of the metalanguage that has been developed in the International Tax Law. It also arrives at a good time because it marks the end of a period (the pre-BEPS period), offering a safe base that serves as a starting point for the analysis of the international scenario that will arise from now on.’ Luís Eduardo Schoueri, Translated from Revista Direito Tributário Internacional Atual
