The course is divided in two Sections, which are aimed to combine the international and comparative approach to the study of international investments.
Section One deals with international and EU tax law covering intra-group flows of income, holding/intermediary structures and group taxation and is aimed at providing a general framework of the topic matter, without specific reference to national tax systems.
Section Two deals with the taxation of group of companies, with particular attention to comparative analysis, with the aim to outline the basic variables for effective tax planning within group structures.
