Theoretical aspects of tax avoidance in the field of income taxes
Šmirausová, Petra ; Marková, Hana (referee)
1 Theoretical aspects of tax avoidance in the field of income taxes Abstract in English The dissertation deals with the theoretical aspects of the controlled foreign company rules (CFC rules), which are the transposition of the Council Directive laying down rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the internal market (ATA Directive). It focuses on current issues of compliance of the Czech CFC rules with double tax treaties and with primary EU law, as well as the question of the ability of this legislation to achieve its purpose, which is to prevent tax avoidance. The purpose of the dissertation is to join the doctrinal discussion of conceptual problems associated with the CFC rules and at the same time to present conclusions that will enable the Czech tax policy makers to better deal with the legislation of this measure and achieve greater legal certainty in implementation of this measure. The argumentation presented in this dissertation leads to several theoretical and practical conclusions. First, it points to the fact that the Czech CFC rules are not entirely able to achieve its purpose and thus to prevent tax evasion. This dissertation identifies reasons of this problem which are (i) the scope of the CFC rules, which is not wide enough to cover all actions that are...

Hybrid Mismatches After the ATADTheoretical Aspects of International Cooperation in Tax Matters
Hrdlička, Lukáš ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee) ; Matejová, Martina (referee)
Hybrid Mismatches After the ATAD Theoretical Aspects of International Cooperation in Tax Matters Abstract This dissertation argues that the current approach toward hybrid mismatches, i.e. linking rules, is ineffective and that EU Member States should consider and adopt other solutions to hybrid mismatches, in particular coordination rules, to achieve single taxation of cross-border income if it is their tax policy goal. I make this argument to help tax policymakers deal properly with hybrid mismatches while also achieving greater legal certainty for taxpayers and tax administrators. While pursuing my claim, I touch on the essential elements of current international taxation, describe certain sets of hybrid mismatches, discuss policy implications of hybrid mismatches' outcomes, and show what linking rules are and that they have many shortcomings. Consequently, I discuss various alternative solutions to hybrid mismatches and point out that coordination rules can be a better method to pursue. Using the preparatory discussion, I examine the Czech anti-hybrid mismatches rules and argue that EU Member States can, to some extent, still use coordination rules as a solution to hybrid mismatches under the ATAD. My analysis leads to practical and theoretical conclusions. I show that the academic literature does not...
