Inhalt
Business Taxation is generally a highly complex area of law. Therefore, this course is not designed to understand a single country’s tax law in detail. Instead, the course provides a brief overview on how legal entities are taxed. The main objective inhere is to learn how taxes can affect investment opportunities. Choices deterring an investment decision may emerge from the legal form, loss offset rules or debt/equity financing. After this course, the students will be able to analyze investment projects and give recommendations regarding their feasibility. The course is not designed for students with a sole focus on taxation. It rather provides a valuable insight for scholars from the areas of finance and accounting.

Inhalt
The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to international tax law and international tax planning. Starting with national tax law from Germany and the US, we broaden the national tax perspective and focus on cross-border transactions. We will discuss how a variety of business decisions, e.g. international investment and financing decisions, are influenced by taxes. Knowledge of domestic and international tax law is used to discuss practical problems and practice business decisions through case studies.Both corporate and personal income taxation are considered.
Basic concepts of international taxation, relief mechanisms of double taxation, especially OECD model treaties and German double taxation treatiesInbound and outbound taxation, international tax planning, taxation of subsidiaries and branches, international loss offset rules, international tax avoidance and anti-avoidance rules are covered.
