Syllabus
for Global Commerce Law & Taxation - LLM125
Ms.
Ana Penn and IBLS academic staff - Possible Faculty
Global Commerce Law & Taxation: Joe,
who resides in San Diego, gives you a credit card number
in payment for goods that you will ship to him from Denver.
You ship the goods and bill the credit card account. And, baring any problem with the goods on arrival, the transaction
is completed.
The cross border vendor must be aware of international
shipping forms, transfer agents, customs and tariff administration
just to ship goods to Montreal, where secure shipping links
are in place, and courier services can handle most problems.
When a customer from Djibouti orders the same goods,
it is not reasonable to assume that the same shipping and
payment conventions will apply.
Djibouti is in an African Free Trade Zone, see the
COMESA Clearing House for commercial bank clearing operations
and debtor balances. The more appropriate way to do business
worldwide is by the use of an electronic purse.
Even if you are shipping to California, do you know
the local tax rates that apply? In California there are
58 counties, each with its own rate.
Expand that problem to include European Union tax
regimens, and consider the OECD Model Income Tax Convention
and your eyes begin to spin.
The students in this course will deal with the concepts
of Cross Border transactions, banking and payment mechanisms,
international e-commerce taxation, and online financial
services.
