Reviews
One often finds that tax books, especially books on international taxation, fall mainly into two categories-those that are very theoretical and often embedded in public finance discourse, and those that are very technical and often legalistic. This is one of the few books which falls somewhere in the middle and does so in a very successful way... This is, overall, an excellent book, highly recommended to tax scholars and those following recent initiatives for international tax reform. * Christiana HJI Panayi, British Tax Review 2017 Publication *
