Annotation -
The course provides enhanced explication of legal and extra-legal issues arising in international taxation of
income. It focuses on international legal double taxation, its causes and effects, as well as the tools and
instruments for the elimination or at least moderation of the same, including the instruments contained in
international double taxation treaties (DTTs). Students will become acquainted with basic notions, terminology,
and sources of international tax law. They will work with the texts of model treaties on elimination of double taxation
as well as selected bilateral treaties actually concluded and applied between various countries. They will learn to
find, interpret, and apply relevant rules of elimination of international double taxation and will be given the
opportunity of learning how to resolve selected practical situations by application of gained skills and knowledge.
The course is not strongly based on positive law of the Czech Republic or any particular country, and the
competences gained in it by the students can thus be utilized in any jurisdiction in which they may operate in the
future.
