Aims & Scope

EC Tax Review is the only journal exclusively dedicated to European Community (EC) tax developments and the harmonization of taxation in the EU. It provides detailed coverage of direct tax, indirect tax, and social security from both the legal and economic angles, including a summary/analysis of cases of the European Court of Justice and relevant national tax cases. For nearly thirty years, tax professionals in Europe and elsewhere have relied on EC Tax Review for up-to-date coverage of developments in Europe-wide tax law and practice. Published six times a year, the journal provides tax practitioners, consultants, accountants, academics, business finance directors, and public officials with comprehensive information about European taxation. In addition to authoritative articles always ensuring an impartial viewpoint, the Review offers expert perspectives on ECJ and national tax cases; details on implementation of EC tax laws into national legislation; tax-related literature in the various EU countries; and expert correspondence from the various EU institutions and individual Member States. Each issue includes departments on new relevant case law, legislation, and recent publications, as well as reviews of the most important new books on taxation. The quality, timeliness, and diversity of its articles make EC Tax Review an appealing and informative information source. It has proven itself to be a worthy companion for all tax practitioners needing to know how EU tax legislation affects their domestic tax regime and how best to plan for emerging future trends.
