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...

This diploma thesis deals with some questions of the international double taxation, particularly with the basic terminology and principles of the international taxation, bilateral double taxation treaties and new tools of legal regulation of the international double taxation such as BEPS, MLI, a package of European directions called Anti-BEPS and its implementation into the Czech law.

Afterwards the thesis is divided into four chapters that are linked to each other. The first chapter presents to the reader basic terminology and explains basic principles of this field independently and in relation to current legal regulation. Further I describe the types of double taxation and other institutes related to the international double taxation such as international double non-taxation. The second chapter deals with means of elimination of the international double taxation. Two basic methods are described and some of them are represented by basic examples. There are also described means of elimination of the international double taxation that can only be used in tax treaties (not in the national law). The last subchapter describes...

Treaties for the avoidance of double taxation This thesis deals with treaties for the avoidance of double taxation, which initially gives a general definition of taxation, then the essential elements of treaties for the avoidance of double taxation and based on the analysis and comparison draws conclusions. The thesis aims to give a comprehensive overview of the issues concluding treaties for the avoidance of double taxation and show what influence they can have on individual provisions of the cross-border effects of economic entities. I start from the hypothesis that the actual provisions of individual contracts can affect decision-making bodies, whether in the country to do business or not. In conclusion, this hypothesis is confirmed. The first chapter of this thesis deals with the taxation generally.

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...

International Aspects of Taxation in the Czech Republic
Kotáb, Petr ; Bakeš, Milan (advisor) ; Karfíková, Marie (referee) ; Dřevínek, Karel (referee)
JUDr. Petr Kotáb International Aspects of Taxation in the Czech Republic SUMMARY Economic life of the current period is marked by high level of globalization of the economy and ever growing volume of cross-border flows of labor, goods, services and capital. In this situation, issues of international taxation affect not only sporadic cross-border transactions of selected types of subjects but virtually daily tax relations of large numbers of tax subjects, legal entities and individuals. Principles and regularities of international taxation are spreading in an ever growing extent into the intrastate level and are influencing the production of tax laws and everyday application practice of tax administrators. International aspects of taxation project into intrastate tax relations when there is a certain foreign element present in the tax relation. Such foreign element can show on the level of the subject of a tax relation (e.g. a non-resident taxpayer, permanent establishment, etc.), or the object (e.g. foreign-sourced income), or as the case may be, the tax relation content (e.g. tax liability imposed by a foreign state and the necessity to reflect it in the inland for the purposes of prevention of double taxation, e.g. by a credit method). A foreign element in the tax relation usually indicates the danger of...
