Special Economic Zones and Taxation

Special Economic Zones (SEZ) are specially designated jurisdictions within the overall jurisdiction of a State. They introduce different laws and regulations, including tax laws and regulations that are usually more trade and investment friendly. SEZs are increasing at an unprecedented pace and the zones coexist with the ordinary domestic legal system as well as international norms. This webinar will explore the relationship between international law, the law of SEZs, and taxation policy, in light of the ongoing global tax reforms.   Introduction Dr. Susan L.
