Project description

Since the financial crisis tax evasion by multinationals is high on the agenda of many legislators. Repeatedly new anti-avoidance rules are enacted, without mutual coherence or final goal. This causes legal uncertainty and unnecessary costs for taxpayers and tax administrations. Therefore this proposal formulates a division of powers in light of targets formulated by the policy makers.
