STARI Lunchtime Seminar - Pillar Two Beyond International Tax Law: An Investment Law Perspective

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia In addition to reshaping the international tax landscape, the implementation of the Global Minimum Tax rules under Pillar Two has raised new legal questions extending beyond the traditional boundaries of international tax law. This talk examines whether, and under what circumstances, Pillar Two measures may be challenged under international investment treaties by multinational enterprises subject to top-up taxes.  It considers whether measures implementing Pillar Two might be scrutinized under investment treaties, the potential application of substantive investment protections (such as expropriation and fair and equitable treatment) to Pillar Two measures, and the practical implications for both states implementing Pillar Two measures and multinational enterprises affected by top-up taxes. More broadly, the talk reflects on what the interaction between Pillar Two and international investment law may suggest for the future design and implementation of international tax rules.

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.
