The first comprehensive book on Canadian international tax law, International Taxation in Canada was originally published in 2006. Now in its fifth edition, it has become the leading book on this topic and widely-adopted book for classroom usage in Canada. It offers an insightful overview of Canadian international taxation, with an eye to its organizing paradigms, underlying logic, technical design and practical implications. Combining over 60 years of experience in international tax law, the authors build on the success of previous editions by making the book more accessible to students and practitioners.

Features of This Book

• Synthesizes and explains Canadian international tax law as a system with its own internal logic, paradigm, principles and policy orientations
• Demystifies the complex tax rules, using accessible language and easy-to-follow examples
• Encourages readers to build on what they already know about basic income tax by showing how the international tax rules are a natural outgrowth of the basic rules
• "Humanizes” the rules by explaining why drafters chose them as a means of achieving important, and often conflicting policy objectives
• Focuses on the “real” law that affects Canadian taxpayers by covering basic rules as well as some highly sophisticated international anti-avoidance rules, including the Global Minimum Tax
• Strives to be a ready starting point for students and a “sanity check” and general reference for practitioners
