In an increasingly global world, tax disputes are increasingly multi-jurisdictional in character. In this session, we will look at the situations in which international tax disputes can arise, and some of the unique features – such as widely varying legislative frameworks and the different character of different jurisdictions' tax authorities and their preconceptions – that make resolving them a specialist subject. [We will also look at the advantages and disadvantages of the dispute resolution mechanisms set out in double tax treaties ('MAP').
