One of the key concerns of corporations, domestic or foreign, today is the prolonged litigation on tax matters and the time it takes to resolve a tax dispute. At the same time, substantial revenues get locked up in disputes; some of which could have otherwise accrued to the receipts of the Government. Emerging concepts of investment arbitration, high sea sales, infrastructure projects and electronic commerce from a tax perspective need to be comprehended and addressed for effective and smooth transactions in international commerce.
