This peer-reviewed article, published in IBFD's WORLD TAX JOURNAL, explores the possible involvement of tax specialist ombudsmen in the mutual agreement procedure (MAP). With the current level of development of the MAP still facing criticism for a lack of efficiency and transparency, and the arbitration only being adopted by a handful of states, alternative solutions should be considered in order to enhance the MAP, while adequately protecting taxpayer rights.

Published in IBFD's EUROPEAN TAXATION, this note discusses the implications of Circular 1060/19-3-2015, which is based on case law on the order that certain tax credits should be deducted. The effect of the Circular is that foreign tax credits are not always fully taken into consideration.
