Description
This lecture explores the history and future of tax jurisdiction in a global digital era. Tax jurisdiction is a function of state capacity, technology and politics. It reflects changing labour and capital relations and only partly depends on territorial boundaries. Tax concepts of residence and source have changed over time as the capability to tax mobile consumption, labour and capital changes. Governments extend or retract tax jurisdiction over income, entities and activities outside their territory. Tax jurisdiction is changed by cooperation between states, which has grown significantly in the last decade, although states continue to compete in some important respects. This lecture considers some examples of the evolution of tax jurisdiction including the recent global deal for taxation of multinational enterprises.
