Tax Law Notes
Last Updated: December 12, 2013
The IMF Legal Department has prepared a series of tax law notes, designed to provide information and analysis on comparative solutions to problems in tax law design which seem to be frequently on the minds of tax officials. These notes supplement the information available in Tax Law Design and Drafting, which is now available in full text on the web, and can be ordered from IMF Publications in bound volumes. Additional notes are expected to be prepared in the future. Feedback, including on additional topics that it would be useful to cover, may be emailed to fiscallaw@imf.org.
