Assessment and permitted materials
A total of 100 points can be achieved in this course.
The criteria for the performance assessment are divided as follows:
1st partial exam: 40 points (equivalent to 40%),
2nd partial exam: 40 points (corresponds to 40%),
Oral participation in the lessons: 8 points (corresponds to 8%) and
Participation by providing written solutions of 3 cases: 12 points (corresponds to 12%).The partial exams last 45 minutes each and are held in writing in German.
Only unannotated law texts, non-programmable calculators and non-electronic dictionaries may be used in the exams. Regarding highlighting and labelling of law texts: Only underlining and highlighting of text passages with highlighters etc. as well as the use of Post-Its are permitted. Post-Its may only be labelled with titles of laws/abbreviations of laws. Prohibited are therefore in particular: Any paragraph headings, commentaries or even individual words, examination schemes, other signs, additional sheets as well as paragraph references and chains of references.An assessment is also made if students have participated in the course at least once (e.g. signature performance).Attendance is compulsory for the course. Unexcused absence from the first class automatically leads to deregistration in order to allow students on the waiting list to move up. If you are unable to attend the first class, you must inform us in advance by email in order to continue attending the course.Overall, absence from the course more than twice will result in a negative grade. Excuses for absence are not required (except for the first class).

• Problem of double taxation
• Systematic introduction to the principles and concepts double tax treaty law on the basis of the OECD Model Convention
Distributive articles of double tax treaties
Method of avoiding double taxation

Current developments
• Influence by EU law on cross-border situationsMethods:
The students prepare for the course in self-study and acquire the relevant knowledge regarding the topics in advance using the literature provided. The topics are consolidated and deepened in the course by solving cases together, supported by a PPT presentation.Aims:
The aim is to provide students with a profound insight into the tax treatment of various cross-border situations on the basis of DTT law, including European law requirements. After positive completion of the course, students should be able to understand the functioning of double taxation treaties, to apply them and to find a well-founded solution to questions of doubt.
