STARI Lunchtime Seminar - The Role And Perspective of Environmental Taxes in Sustainable Development and the Green Economy

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia By 2050, the European Union aims to become the first climate-neutral continent in the world. To this end, the concept of the green economy has been developed, i.e. an economy that improves human wellbeing and social justice while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is also an important component in achieving the overarching goal of sustainable development. To achieve the desired goals, this concept requires extensive financial instruments to stimulate private investment and business activity. One possible solution is environmental taxes. They have a dual function: firstly, to increase tax revenues, and secondly, to change consumer purchasing habits. Growing environmental awareness is pushing policymakers to pursue sustainable economic practices with the dual aim of combining economic efficiency with reduced environmental impacts. Therefore, the main objective of this seminar is to:present the importance and role of environmental taxes in relation to sustainable development and the green economy; … Fee(s): Complimentary, Successful registrant will receive a confirmation email by 17 August 2026 from ccla@smu.edu.sg to confirm your registration.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - GloBE as a Regular Corporate Income Tax System: Tax Base and Subject

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia This article investigates the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (GloBE Rules) not as a minimum tax but as a regular corporate income tax system. Drawing on the framework of analysis set out in the author's 2024 book, Corporate Tax Law, this article compares the GloBE Rules with the features of four archetypal corporate income tax systems—those of China, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States—with a focus on the first of three artificialities involving corporations: the artificiality of a corporation as an income-deriving subject. The article considers how entities subject to the GloBE Rules are identified and classified, examines specialist tax base issues arising from the artificial nature of the subject matter, and analyses the tax treatment of the subject entity's income.
