TREATING TAX ISSUES THROUGH TRADE REGIMES |
26 Brooklyn Journal of International Law 1683 (2001) |
Professor Paul R. McDaniel has performed an extremely valuable service in clarifying the relationship between trade and tax law. In particular, he has done so by pointing out that, to a large extent, the two spheres do not overlap, much less clash in their objectives. This makes sense because, fundamentally, the goal of trade law is to facilitate... |
