Svoboda, Václav ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Vybíral, Roman (referee)
106 Permanent Establishment from the Perspective of Judicature of the European Court of JusticeAbstract This thesis treats rulings of the EUCJ in the area of direct taxation. It describes the substance of the term permanent establishment as described in documents of the OECD, because the permanent establishment is mainly not regulated by the EU legal provisions regardless whether primary or secondary. Further, the thesis deals with EU jurisdiction within the scope of direct taxation and scrutinizes fundamental principles, based on which the EU deduces its jurisdiction, even though the jurisdiction should remain in the hands of the member states. Subsequently, the thesis pays attention to the EUCJ as an institution, it describes important principles governing the procedures before the EUCJ and impact of activity of this institution as negative legislator. In this regard, it is not the aim of this thesis to describe the institutionary footing of this organ. The thesis treats mainly the procedural activity, origin of its jurisdiction in the area of direct taxation and practical problem connected with th e activity of the EUCJ. Finally, it outlines the most important issues ensuing from the EUCJ decision- making. As next, the text deals with the structure of an EUCJ decision. The purpose of this is to make...

Expatriate Taxation
Britz, Thomas ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Pavlína (referee)
RESUMÉ IN ENGLISH Thomas Britz Expatriate Taxation With globalisation increasing, the tax aspects connected to the free movement of employees around the world are of particular importance to companies with subsidiaries around the globe. The goal of my thesis is to explore the risks involved in expatriate taxation. The first chapter is dedicated to the definition of the terms employment and secondment from the point of labour law, European social security coordination law and tax treaties. I think that the main characteristic of employment consists in the fact that it is the opposite of entrepreneurialism. The second chapter explores the general function of taxation, double taxation and its avoidance by bilateral tax treaties. Chapter three introduces the reader to discrimination in trans-border income tax cases and analyses the Schumacker ruling of the European Court of Justice, as a result of which tax reliefs can now be claimed in the European Union by non- residents, provided that 90% of their income originates from employment in the country that provides for such tax reliefs to its own residents. Chapter four discusses the definition of tax residence, the determination of residence under the Czech Income Tax Act and establishes when individuals are considered tax residents due to, inter alia, domicile...

Double taxation treaties with particular regard to the concept of a permanent establishment
Kubeš, Jan ; Vybíral, Roman (advisor) ; Sejkora, Tomáš (referee)
01 Double tax treaties aim to prevent double taxation. Double taxation of income is an undesirable phenomenon from the taxpayers' point of view. The most widespread way of preventing it is through bilateral agreements concluded between states under the OECD Model Agreement. In general, a prerequisite of taxation is either tax residency or the existence of a permanent establishment, which can take various forms. Double taxation treaties and the concept of a permanent establishment in which this master thesis is dedicated, have undergone a dynamic transformation over the past few years due to both Base Erosion and Profit Shifting reports (BEPS) and the Multilateral Instrument by OECD (MLI). This transformation is demonstrated in this thesis by comparing selected provisions of the OECD Model Agreement 2014 and 2017. This thesis addresses the current question of whether the current development of tax treaties is to avoid double taxation or avoid double non-taxation and artificial tax reduction. Double tax treaties, as practice shows, fulfill their traditional role. The first chapter deals with the system of national and international taxation in general. The second chapter deals with the issue of double taxation, methods of its avoidance and comparison of versions of the OECD Model Agreement 2014 and 2017. The...
