The diploma thesis is focused on assessment of changes in tax law arisen in connection with private law recodification. The first part is focused on private law development in the Czech Republic because the new Civil Code follows historical private law regulation in many ways. The second part is focused on description of possible situation that could occur if the tax law has not been adjusted to private law recodification. The key issue is the assessment of tax solution of chosen recodification changes with pointing out possible obscurities in the tax law.

There is an urgent need and constitutional imperative to expedite land reform in South Africa to maintain peace and stability. Against this backdrop, the Presidential Advisory Panel on Land Reform and Agriculture ("the Panel"), in its Final Report dated 4 May 2019, gave input on a proposed constitutional amendment that would permit expropriation of land without compensation ("EWC") to take place in South Africa. Taking the Panel's work into account, Parliament then gazetted a Bill setting out proposed amendments to section 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 ("the Constitution"). Significantly, the proposed Bill contemplates the first ever amendments to the Bill of Rights in the Constitution since the dawn of democracy in South Africa. Although the proposed Bill and its associated draft, enabling legislation have put in motion the process to introduce EWC in South Africa, it is uncertain what the key legal consequences of doing so will be. It is particularly uncertain what the key legal consequences of introducing EWC in South Africa will be in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on South Africa's economy. This dissertation addresses what some of the key legal consequences of EWC will be. It highlights the myriad of procedural and substantive constitutional legal challenges that await the proposed Bill and its associated enabling legislation. It then analyses the impact of EWC on common law property rights and the law of contract before addressing the impact of EWC on lenders and borrowers where a mortgaged property is the target of an EWC process. Finally, this dissertation addresses the potentially significant and unintended tax consequences that EWC will have on taxpayers and the fiscus and which may, in fact, benefit some of South Africa's wealthiest land owners. / Mini-dissertation (LLM (Mercantile Law))--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Mercantile Law / LLM (Mercantile Law) / Unrestricted

E-commerce and transactions in virtual worlds has monetary value and may lead to actual cash flows. Where real money trade occurs tax authorities are bound to seek ways and means in which to levy and collect taxes (Pienaar, 2008:38). Previous research on the application of the South African income tax laws to transactions in virtual worlds has been conducted. The application of the charging section of the value added tax laws in South Africa has also been researched in the context of e-commerce and transactions in virtual worlds. Limited research has been conducted on the actual value added tax collection methods in the context of e-commerce and transactions in virtual worlds. This study critically analyses the value added tax collection methods employed in South Africa in the context of ecommerce and transactions in virtual worlds and compares the extent of its application to the extent of the goods and services tax collection methods’ application employed in Australia in this context. The study concludes that that the value added tax collection methods employed in South Africa and the goods and services tax collection methods employed in Australia are similar. Special rules have been adopted in Australia to ensure goods and service taxes are collected on the supply electronic goods. This is not the case in South Africa. However, in the case of transactions in virtual worlds, both countries’ collection methods struggle in ensuring value added tax and goods and service taxes is collected where the supplier of a virtual item is foreign in relation to South Africa or Australia. AFRIKAANS : E-commerce en transaksies in virtuele wêrelde het monetêre waarde en mag in sekere omstandighede kontantvloeie tot gevolg bring. Wanneer regte geld verhandel word sal belasting owerhede altyd maniere soek om belasting the hef op die onderliggende transaksies en dit in te vorder (Pienaar, 2008:38). Vorige navorsing rakende die toepassing van die Suid Afrikaanse inkomste belasting wetgewing in virtuele wêrelde is al voorheen gedoen. The toepassing van die heffings artikel in the belasting op toegevoegde waarde (BTW) wetgewing op e-commerce en transaksies in virtuele wêrelde was ook al vorheen nagevors. Min navorsing was gevind wat aleenlik fokus op die invorderings meganismes in die BTW wetgewing in die konteks van transaksies in virtuele wêrelde en e-commerce. Hierdie studie analiseer krities die toepassing van die invorderings meganismes in die Suid Afrikaanse BTW wetgewing in die konteks van e-commerce en transaksies in virtuele wêrelde en vergelyk die toepassing daarvan met die toepassing van die Australiaanse goods and services tax wetgewing se invorderings meganismes in dieselfde konteks. Die studie lig uit dat die twee lande se invorderings meganismes baie dieselfde is. The Australiaanse wetgewing maak egter spesiale voorsiening vir lewerings met betrekking tot e-commerce. Dit is nie die geval in Suid Afrika nie. Met betrekking tot transaksies in virtuele wêrelde sukkel beide lande se invorerings meganismes om seker maak dat BTW en goods and services tax ingevorder word waar die verskaffer nie Suid Afrikaans of Australiaans is nie. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Taxation / unrestricted

VAT plays a crucial role in creating a single internal market in the EU. However, the applicability of VAT rules in regard to the conduct of clinical trials and investigational medicinal products (IMPs) remains uncertain due to different interpretations among the Member States and the lack of case laws regarding clinical trials. This thesis examines the EU VAT Directive and the case law provided by the ECJ using a teleological approach to interpret the concept of medical care and identify applicable provisions for the conduct of clinical trials and transactions involving IMPs. The analysis provides insights into the VAT treatment of clinical trials conducted within the EU.

The major objective, based on premises set by the commonly called linguistic turn and philosophical hermeneutics , is to analyze the ability that principles have of, in the above mentioned process of composing the rule, rendering the constitutional tax law viable. It is thus justified because it may contribute to the study of the function that principles fulfill in the process of creating a tax law, as well as to a better understanding of how such participation works, always aiming at achieving real tax justice. The theme is developed within the scope of the three language dimensions: syntactics, semantics and pragmatics, based on the relating literature and jurisprudence, and addresses the following topics: i linguistic construction of reality by means of interpretation; ii the idea of law as a communication system (of language) composed of principles and rules (normative language) that build up its repertoire; iii the RMIT s structure; iv the structure of principles and their function, jointly with rules (both legal norms lato sensu), in constituting the legal norm stricto sensu; v the general constitutional principles and tax constitutional principles in their capacity of establishing objective limits ; vi the interpretation of law from the standpoint of premises established by the linguistic turn and by Heidegger s and Gadamer s philosophical hermeneutics and its application in the scope of Brazilian Law s Democratic State; vii the proposal of interpreting law as a language system, devised by Paulo de Barros Carvalho; viii the law interpreter/enforcer activity and the path treaded thereby for creating the RMIT, with a focus on the participation and influence of tax constitutional principles in this process. The study points out the need to effectively replace juspositivism with (neo) constitutionalism, and hermeneutics with philosophical hermeneutics, with the ensuing acknowledgement of principles as determinants of the activity of creating any legal norm. Under Brazilian Law´s Democratic State instituted by the Constitution of 1988 there is no room for the mechanical application of rules. Constitutional principles must, therefore, be part of the RMIT construction, determining the meaning of the rules that state its criteria (material, temporal, spatial etc.) for the effective concretization of tax constitutional justice and sothat (tax) law fulfills its function as an agent of social change / O presente trabalho pretende examinar a participação dos princípios na atividade do intérprete de construção da norma jurídica (em especial da RMIT) nos limites do Estado Democrático de Direito brasileiro, instituído por uma Constituição dirigente e social, cujo conteúdo principiológico estabelece o compromisso de erradicar a pobreza e minimizar as desigualdades sociais. Nessa linha, tem como objetivo maior, a partir das premissas fixadas pelo denominado giro lingüístico e pela hermenêutica filosófica , analisar a aptidão dos princípios para, no citado processo de construção da norma, viabilizar a concretização da justiça constitucional tributária. Sua elaboração se justifica, portanto, na medida em que pode contribuir para o estudo da função dos princípios no processo de construção da norma tributária, bem como para uma melhor compreensão da operacionalização dessa participação, tendo sempre em vista a concretização da justiça tributária. O tema é desenvolvido no âmbito das três dimensões da linguagem: sintática, semântica e pragmática, com base na literatura e na jurisprudência a ele relacionadas, e passa pelo exame dos seguintes assuntos: i a construção lingüística da realidade por meio da interpretação; ii a noção de direito como sistema comunicacional (de linguagem) constituído por princípios e regras (linguagem normativa), que compõem seu repertório; iii a estrutura da RMIT; iv a estrutura dos princípios e sua função, em conjunto com as regras (ambas normas jurídicas lato sensu), na constituição das norma jurídica stricto sensu; v os princípios constitucionais gerais e os princípios constitucionais tributários enquanto enunciados jurídicos que fixam valores com alta carga de indeterminação e enquanto enunciados que fixam limites objetivos ; vi a interpretação do direito a partir das premissas fixadas pelo giro lingüístico e pela hermenêutica filosófica de Heidegger e de Gadamer e sua aplicação no âmbito do Estado Democrático de Direito brasileiro; vii a proposta de interpretação do direito como um sistema de linguagem formulada por Paulo de Barros Carvalho; viii a atividade do intérprete/aplicador do direito e o percurso por ele trilhado para a construção da RMIT, com ênfase à participação e à influência dos princípios constitucionais tributários nesse processo. O estudo aponta para a necessidade de uma efetiva superação do juspositivismo pelo (neo)constitucionalismo, e da hermenêutica como método pela hermenêutica filosófica, com o respectivo reconhecimento dos princípios como determinantes da atividade de construção de toda e qualquer norma jurídica. No Estado Democrático de Direito instituído pela Constituição de 1988 não há espaço para a aplicação mecânica de regras. Os princípios constitucionais devem, assim, participar da construção da RMIT determinando o sentido das regras que enunciam seus critérios (material, temporal, espacial etc.) para uma efetiva concretização da justiça constitucional tributária e para que o direito (tributário) assuma sua função de agente de transformação social

The purpose of this paper is to glimpse as the Tax Law is inserted in the unit of general law, being important for understanding the knowledge of public and private law in general.In the second part of the paper, the author analyzes how private law applies to the financial subsidiary way through forwarding making the tax law itself or by express provision of the civil. He emphasizes in this introduction as dogmatic construction of the tax liability, originated and rationale in civil liability.Finally the author explains how general principles of law necessarily apply to financial law. Thus, the principles of good faith, breach of law, and the doctrine of estoppel, are universal principles applicable to every right and inexcusably financial and tax law. / El presente artículo busca vislumbrar cómo el Derecho Financiero y Tributario está inserto en la unidad del Derecho en general, resultando importante para su comprensión el conocimiento del Derecho Público y Privado. Por ello, el autor analiza cómo se aplica en forma subsidiaria el Derecho Privado al Derecho Financiero a través del reenvío que realiza la propia legislación fiscal o por disposición expresa de la civil. Destacamos en esta introducción cómo la construcción dogmática de la obligación tributaria tuvo su origen y razón de ser en la de la obligación civil.Finalmente el autor explica cómo los Principios Generales del Derecho necesariamente se aplican al Derecho Financiero. Así, los principios de buena fe, abuso del derecho, y la doctrina de los actos propios, son principios universales aplicables a todo el Derecho e inexcusablemente al Derecho Financiero y Tributario.
