Global Dispute Settlement and Prevention Proceedings:
Trends focusing on a German Perspective

This year’s FGS Symposium Session will explore recent trends in international dispute settlement and prevention. Preventing and resolving cross-border tax controversies has become a priority for taxpayers and tax authorities alike. Achieving legal certainty is the overarching goal. But that goes along with a proper application of procedural law, such as the choice of the most suitable instrument and other questions.

Drawing on recent cases, the panelists will highlight technical and procedural challenges affecting cases with German involvement, such as the limited scope of MLI arbitration for double tax treaties, the interplay with EU instruments, the handling of practical questions relating to tax-transparent partnerships for cross-border dispute settlement and prevention proceedings, and insights from interlocking joint audits with APA or MAP.

What are the lessons from recent cases in Germany and abroad? How do joint audits supplement dispute resolution and prevention tools like MAP or APAs? And what are the latest trends shaping international tax cooperation?

Experts from Flick Gocke Schaumburg, Dr. Noemi Strotkemper and Dr. Christian Heider, will start with addressing recent trends and insights from a German perspective. Building on this, European and global experiences and trends will be discussed with our distinguished colleagues: Prof. Dr. René Matteotti (University of Zurich and Tax Partner AG, Switzerland), Sarah Blakelock (AstraZeneca, UK), Mariana Martins Silva (Garrigues, Portugal), and Martin Eckerstorfer (LeitnerLeitner, Austria).
