Keeping up-to-date with the latest developments and trends in international tax is no easy task. With legislation created or amended almost every day and court rulings introducing new tax case law regularly, remaining on top of these changes is more vital than ever before.
This is why International Tax Review has launched a new online product that will provide you with the latest international tax news as well as much-needed practical analysis.
ITR Premium includes a news and analysis, focusing on Corporate, Indirect, Disputes and Compliance Management, plus all the great features of International Tax Review. This unique service provides subscribers with access to breaking news and analysis, comment from tax executives, officials and practitioners, as well as comparative discussion of developments in different jurisdictions around the world.
A subscriber to ITR Premium will receive weekly and breaking newsletters containing unbeatable news coverage and is the one-stop-shop for latest tax developments that affect your business.
Keeping on top of the latest tax news is just one part of the job for in-house tax directors. While much emphasis is placed on what is happening today, creating and operating a tax department that can inform and advise the rest of the company well into the future is equally important.
With that in mind, this month's cover story looks at how the tax department of the future will need to function. It covers, for example, how to structure your team, what role technology will play in compliance and how to manage the expectations of tax officials as more and more information is shared between administrations.
This month's issue also includes exclusive interviews with two of the world's leading tax policy decision-makers. Marlies de Ruiter, the newest member of the OECD's transfer pricing division talks about her first month in the job and outlines how she wants to improve communication within the organisation. And Philip Kermode, Director for Direct Taxation at the European Commission explains why the organisation is intent on eliminating double non-taxation throughout the EU.
Finally, this month is the second in a series of three special editions that pays particular attention to the tax challenges faced in the global energy sector. In this issue, there is an in-depth look at the transfer pricing hurdles Norwegian taxpayers must overcome and how the UK and US governments are using tax incentives to encourage investment in renewable energy sources.
