Tax Treaty Interpretation in Light of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (hardcover)

Tax Treaty Interpretation in Light of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties is a book providing an in-depth analysis of the impact of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) on interpreting and applying tax treaties.

The complexity of cross-border taxation and the growing significance of tax treaties in international commerce and investment impact the increasing demand for a more thorough comprehension of the principles governing tax treaty interpretation.
