The last several years have seen fundamental changes to the UK tax system. Nearly the entirety of the UK corporation tax & international tax rules have been rewritten by three new statutes the Corporation Tax Acts 2009 & 2010 & the Taxation (International & Other Provisions) Act 2010. The UK has also implemented major new policies affecting the taxation of pensions charities savings vehicles 'non-doms' & the foreign profits of UK companies. In addition European Union law & especially the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union has had an increasingly important impact on UK corporation tax & international tax law in particular. This new book on advanced topics in UK tax law is derived from material previously found in John Tiley's major text on Revenue Law that has been expanded & comprehensively updated to take account of these developments. The book deals with Corporation Tax International & European Tax Savings & Charities in a manageable & portable volume for law students & practitioners. It complements the material on UK Income Tax Capital Gains Tax & Inheritance Tax found in Revenue Law 7th edition. Unlike other tax law books this text explains the new rules found in CTA 2009 CTA 2010 & TIOPA 2010 in light of its legislative predecessors. The book contains extensive references to the new legislation & also to the former enactments in ICTA 1988 & elsewhere.

The book is designed for law students taking advanced tax courses in the final year of their law degree course & for graduate students but is intended to be of interest to all who enjoy tax law. Its purpose is not only to provide an account of the rules but to include citation of the relevant literature from legal periodicals & some discussion of or reference to the background material in terms of policy history or other countries' tax systems. ...
