About this book:
In recent years, tax-related matters in investment treaty arbitration have received prominent attention. Following the 2020 award in Cairn Energy v. India, investment treaty cases involving an alleged violation of investors’ rights in taxation matters continue to be on the uprise. Therefore, arbitral tribunals are increasingly required to interpret tax carve-outs and to give content to investment treaty protection standards in a tax-related context. Further, the interaction between these standards and those shaping the international tax system has begun to surface in arbitral awards. At the policy level, the recent evolution has been equally intense. On the one hand, sophisticated tax carve-outs and filter mechanisms (sometimes with cross-references to the principles of the international tax system) continue to be included in investment agreements. On the other hand, the relation between investment arbitration and taxation matters has been a recent focus of the work of the UN Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters.
What’s in this book:
This volume, which comprises 18 chapters written by distinguished authors of the international tax and investment law communities, brings together comprehensive in-depth research and practical guidance as well as policy recommendations on all aspects involving taxation matters in investment arbitration.
