Description
This text is written in honour of Sidney I. Roberts, a founding member of the New York law firm of Roberts & Holland and author of many publications on international tax law, on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Over 30 of his professional friends, prominent tax lawyers from a variety of countries, have contributed to the book. Their essays deal with aspects of international taxation either from the perspective of a particular country's tax system or on a more general level.
