International double taxation of corporate income
Vybíral, Roman ; Karfíková, Marie (advisor) ; Boháč, Radim (referee) ; Papoušková, Zdenka (referee)
International tax law forms in an increasingly globalized world a significant regulator applying to constantly expanding group of entities whose activities are not exclusively tied to the area of one country. On the contrary, due to the continuously increasing link between national economies these entities very often simultaneously operate across multiple territories which often results to not always clearly identifiable tax law implications. It may be noted that international cooperation between states got over long decades to the fairly high level, especially in terms of prevention of the negative effects of double taxation of income to the subject to income tax. These negative effects were seen, and indeed even today sometimes may be seen in the form of increased tax burden of tax subjects, which is related to unwillingness to cross-border activity. Also especially developed countries very often aim to support such cross-border activities due to a positive impact into their public budgets. On the other hand, it is still possible to see certain gaps which, if used appropriate by the tax entities open the way to circumvention of rules and general principles on which international cooperation on these issues is based. These problems are primarily based on the concept of tax sovereignty which...

The first one is trying to define essential terms of the thesis such as - a tax, an employee or an entrepreneur.

Karas, Ladislav ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Vybíral, Roman (referee)
The Trust Fund is for the Czech law a completely new institution, therefore its deeper legal examination and interpretation of its individual provisions is just at the beginning. It is generally regulated by the Act no. 89/2012 Sb., the Civil Code, as amended. The essence of the Trust Fund lies in the fact that the Settlor separates a specified part of his property and entrusts it to some purpose. This creates a separated property, to which has the original owner (the Settlor) no ownership rights. Management of this separated property performs the Trustee. However, he has no ownership of this property. Property in the Trust Fund does not belong to anyone, but the Trustee can dispose of it. The aim of this thesis is to comprehensively summarize and analyze the taxation of the Trust Fund according to the regulation applicable in 2014 and also after its revision in January 2015.

International double taxation is an issue which states began to deal with in the late 19th century. This interest intensified after the First World War when also the League of Nations (predecessor of the United Nations) began to deal with international double taxation.
