Tax certainty and taxation of international pension funds: The complicating and costly role of domestic courts
Source: Australian Tax Forum Journal Article
Published Date: 1 Mar 2020

It finds that despite the different legal frameworks applying in each case, both decisions heighten concerns about tax uncertainty by commonly employing a domestic approach to construe the relevant international instrument, albeit that both decisions purport to follow international customary rules of interpretation.
