International Taxation of Electronic Commerce
Richard Westin Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9041188584 |
Book Description
The bricks and mortar of commercial law as we know it are crumbling into dust. Electronic commerce -- or `e-commerce' as it is familiarly called -- sweeps away the very foundations of what was not so long ago our most solid, comfortable, and secure legal system. In its most advanced form e-commerce allows unidentified purchasers to pay obscure vendors, in `electronic cash,' for products that are often goods, services, and licenses all rolled into one. A payee may be no more than a computer that can take up `residence' anywhere at the drop of a hat; national boundaries are of no consequence whatsoever. Taxation authorities are understandably dismayed. This book is a minutely detailed `picture' of current reality in the worldwide huddle of revenue regimes as they try to cope with the most daunting challenge they have ever had to face. It analyzes a number of fast-moving trends in the behavior of national taxation authorities, web-based companies, certain low-tax (or no-tax) jurisdictions, and international organizations that have significant bearing on the future development of the taxation of e-commerce, including the following: + How United States domestic and international tax rules are being interpreted in the effort to accommodate e-commerce; + The powerful retailers' lobby against the moratorium on U.S. state and local sales tax on Internet transactions; + How VAT rules in EU countries and other jurisdictions are being restructured to accommodate international e-commerce; + New theories of income and payment characterization, and in particular the influential OECD ongoing study; + The crucial discussion over what constitutes a `permanent establishment' for tax purposes; + The emergence of `tax havens' especially adapted to e-commerce, with a detailed study of Anguilla; and + The danger to e-business of international criminal investigatory powers created as weapons in the `drug wars.' Three special chapters -- on e-commerce taxation in Canada, Ireland, and The Netherlands -- add a comparative dimension to the analysis. Appendices include an IRS audit guide, the relevant OECD Draft Model Tax Treaty, and a selection of pertinent IRS forms. Notable for its clarification of the issues surrounding this new and complex subject -- and for its detailed treatment of how these issues are being dealt with at national and international levels -- International Taxation of Electronic Commerce will be of enormous value to businesses in the electronic marketplace, whether they are established there or entering. Revenue policymakers, students, and scholars everywhere will also find it extremely useful and informative.

Biased opinion, but still worthy.......2002-07-24
Real advice for real life issues.......2002-04-19
Highlights: It's an up-to-date text that addresses the full range of topics from the contemporary legal environment defined and changed by the internet, to business agreements. The chapters on contract law, privacy and liability are essential reading for anyone involved in e-commerce, either as a business process owner or as an IT professional who is responsible for online content.
The first seven chapters are my favorite because they covered information that is of particular interest to business and IT professionals. Chapter 1 covers the legal landscape of e-commerce issues, then segues into three chapters on contract law, present and future issues of contract law that are specific to e-commerce, and contracting and licensing software. These chapters realistically address real issues and challenges. These chapters build the foundation for the next chapters that cover torts in general, and cyber torts in particular, and liability issues (often overlooked, but a all-too-real exposure).
Chapters 8 through 10 cover intellectual property in great detail. This topic is an inescapable reality of doing business over the internet, and is one in which the legal issues are still evolving. I recommend that anyone who focuses on this aspect of law also read Bill Zoellick's excellent book, CyberRegs: A Business Guide to Web Property, Privacy, and Patents. Chapter 11 is a brief examination of business organization that can be glossed over, but the final chapter, 12, on cyber companies and internet agreements is an essential chapter that is filled with invaluable facts and advice.
Don't let the fact that this is a college text deter you from purchasing this book. It is an excellent deskside reference that will guide you through real life issues.
