The Benefits of Unity in Diversity


Book Description

Is there an alternative to unity in uniformity or division in diversity? How can we learn not only to work harmoniously with people of different professions, races, cultures, or ways of thinking, but also take advantage of diversity to make better decisions and carry out more complex projects than what we could achieve with a group of people who think alike? This book explores the nature of unity in diversity and how it can be practiced among different: Countries Professions Teams Organizations Family members In the process it explains the need to make decisions using consultation, with an attitude of investigating truth and taking into account the well-being of all. In order to achieve this it examines the following guidelines that are necessary for productive consultation: Fomenting affection, harmony and sincerity among the members. Sharing what one's conscience dictates Expressing opinions with courtesy, dignity, care, and moderation Listening carefully to the ideas of others Not disparaging the ideas of others nor getting upset if someone contradicts one's ideas Not insisting on one's own opinion Postponing discussion of the topic if there is conflict, anger or antagonism Integrating the positive points of different opinions, striving to reach a unanimous decision, Collaborating in carrying out the decisions made It then proposes several steps that can expedite the process of coming to a decision, These include: Delimiting the topic to keep the consultation focused. Writing down the known facts and identifying further areas to investigate Identifying relevant principles Brainstorming several lines of action or possible solutions. Selecting a solution or a set of appropriate lines of action. Applying the solution or lines of action and evaluating the results The book concludes with concrete suggestions of how to deal with conflicts that may arise due to diverse cultural norms.

Corporate Taxation, Group Debt Funding and Base Erosion


Book Description

The EU’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD), implemented in January 2019, confronts Member States with complex challenges, particularly via the introduction of an interest limitation rule. This timely book, the first in-depth analysis of the features and implications of the directive, provides insightful and practical discussions by experts from around Europe on the crucial interactions of the ATAD with other existing anti-tax avoidance measures, the European financial sector and the fundamental freedoms. Specific issues and topics covered include the following: relation with the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Sharing project (BEPS) and the EU’s Common Corporate Tax Base initiative; technical subjects relating to corporate taxation and debt funding; problems caused by the diametrically opposite tax treatment of debt and equity within a group of companies; exclusion clauses for interest expenses; and interplay between interest limitation rules and anti-hybrid rules. A comparative analysis of implementation issues in four leading Member States—Germany, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands—as well as a global general survey with regard to interest limitation rules allow readers to assess the particular complexities associated to the implementation of the ATAD. This matchless commentary by leading European tax law academics and practitioners on an important and much-debated item of EU legislation gives practitioners, enterprises and tax authorities an early opportunity to understand the practical effects of the directive in the various Member States.
