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. Those familiar with the old law but wanting to find their way round the new will find this work particularly valuable. 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. ...

The development & application of multivariate statistical techniques in process monitoring has gained substantial interest over the past two decades in academia & industry alike. Initially developed for monitoring & fault diagnosis in complex systems such techniques have been refined & applied in various engineering areas for example mechanical & manufacturing chemical electrical & electronic & power engineering. The recipe for the tremendous interest in multivariate statistical techniques lies in its simplicity & adaptability for developing monitoring applications. In contrast competitive model signal or knowledge based techniques showed their potential only whenever cost-benefit economics have justified the required effort in developing applications. Statistical Monitoring of Complex Multivariate Processes presents recent advances in statistics based process monitoring explaining how these processes can now be used in areas such as mechanical & manufacturing engineering for example in addition to the traditional chemical industry. This book: Contains a detailed theoretical background of the component technology. Brings together a large body of work to address the fields drawbacks & develops methods for their improvement. Details cross-disciplinary utilization exemplified by examples in chemical mechanical & manufacturing engineering. Presents real life industrial applications outlining deficiencies in the methodology & how to address them.
