IBFD is delighted to announce that Adolfo Martín Jiménez (Spain) is the winner of the 7th IBFD Frans Vanistendael Award for his article titled “Value Creation: A Guiding Light for the Interpretation of Tax Treaties?”, published by IBFD in Bulletin for International Taxation 4/5 – 2020.
AMSTERDAM, May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Based on a comprehensive theoretical and practical study of value creation in the BEPS context, the article questions the validity of value creation for the interpretation of tax treaties.
The arguments contained in the article put the final word on a very controversial page of the most recent phase of development of international tax law. This article is to be regarded as a major reference framework for administrative and judicial practice to determine the repercussions on the future of international tax law. It is a major piece of scholarship, which, in the view of the jury, undoubtedly deserved winning the 7th Frans Vanistendael Award.
Adolfo Martín Jiménez is a full professor of tax law of the University of Cádiz (Spain) and an independent tax consultant. He has worked on international and EU tax issues as a teacher, author and consultant for over 20 years. Moreover, he is the President of the European Association of Tax Law Professors (www.eatlp.org).
