may attempt to obtain benefits that a tax treaty grants to a resident of that State. These arrangements are generally referred to as “treaty shopping”. Treaty shopping cases typically involve persons who are residents of third States attempting to access indirectly the benefits of a treaty between two Contracting States.
The OECD has already analyzed the issue of bargain shopping in various settings:
The idea of "beneficial owner" was presented in the Model in 1977 keeping in mind the end goal to manage basic settlement shopping circumstances where salary is paid to a middle person inhabitant of an arrangement nation who isn't dealt with as the proprietor of that pay for charge purposes, (for example, an operator or candidate). In the meantime, a short new area on "Ill-advised Use of the Convention" (which included two cases of bargain shopping) was included to the Commentary Art. 1 and the Committee demonstrated that it planned "to make a top to bottom investigation of such issues and of different methods for managing them".
That inside and out investigation brought about the 1986 reports on Double Taxation and the Use of Base organizations and Double Taxation and the Use

As demonstrated in proposed passage 12.5 of the Commentary on Art. 10, which was incorporated into the most recent talk draft on the significance of "helpful owner":9 "while the idea of 'beneficial owner' manages a few types of assessment evasion (i.e. those including the intervention of a beneficiary who is obliged to pass on the profit to another person), it doesn't manage different instances of settlement shopping and should not, in this manner, be considered as confining in any capacity the utilization of different ways to deal with tending to such
| (TCO A) An AICPA committee in 1986 broke forensic accounting into two broad areas:
Interest-based bargaining is a method in which it enables negotiators to realize that common interests exist and enables joint-problem solving to exist under a more traditional negotiation (Federal Mediation & Conciliation Services, n.d.). Whereas, distributive bargaining is when a fixed amount of resource exists, and because both parties want the same resources they must be divided and distributed among the two. This method is used when both parties do not foresee the need for a relationship to exist and the interaction is a one-time occurrence (Marzec, n.d.). When it came to the negotiations between the Union and the Company in this situation, an interest-based bargaining method was utilized. A relationship needed to be established between the two parties, because the potential for future negotiations to exist remains due to the nature of the two parties. Being able to realize that each side had common interests, it could enable an agreement to come together without either side having to give something
On February 6, 1778, Benjamin Franklin was in France signing the Treaty of Amity and Commerce and the Treaty of Alliance. The Treaty of Amity and Commerce recognized the U.S. as an independent nation and promoted trade between France and America. The second agreement, the Treaty of Alliance, made the fledgling United States and France allies against Great Britain in the Revolutionary War. The French decided to back the U.S. in its military efforts until the U.S. had full independence from Great Britain. After that, the treaty required France and the U.S. to work together on any peace agreement. France had been secretly aiding the American Colonies since 1776, because France was angry at Britain over the loss of Colonial territory in the French
An agreement that they agreed was Adams-Onís Treaty. One agreement was the Spanish agreed to set the limits of their territory. According to the text it said, "what is now California’s northern border and gave up any claim to Oregon." Another one is that Adams had made an agreement with Britain. According to what I read it has said that they made an agreement of joint occupation of the area. This meant that both the United States and Great Britain could settle in orogen. Finally when Adams became president he had proposed that the two nations would be divided in Oregon. Britain refused so then they made in agreement that Britain and Americans could settle their instead of just dividing it into two.

However, the application of SOX has brought on regulations that public companies must put in place and follow to prohibit these unethical occurrences. One major advantage for associated with SOX is that more thorough audits are being conducted by auditing firms. Audits being conducted more thoroughly will provide accuracy and an increased reliability of financial data. This will affect taxes in a positive way and provide firms with an advantage. Causholli, Chambers, and Payne (2014) suggest that prior to the implementation of SOX in 2002, “an auditor’s opportunity to sell additional non-audit services in the subsequent year, coupled with the client’s willingness to buy services, intensified the economic bond between auditor and client, in turn reducing auditor independence and the quality of financial reporting” (p.681). The regulation of auditor provided non-audit tax services has increased the reliability of tax and financial reporting within companies. Seetharaman, Sun, and Wang (2011) explain that “in a post-Sarbanes-Oxley environment, the benefits of auditor-provided non-audit tax services (NATS) seem to manifest themselves in higher quality tax-related financial statement management assertions” (p. 677).

There are tax treaties available to reduce the US taxes of residents of foreign countries; however certain exceptions may not reduce the US taxes of US citizens or residents. Generally treaty provisions are mutual and apply to both treaty countries. Thus, a US citizen or resident may be eligible to certain credits, deductions, exemptions, and reductions in the tax rates of the foreign countries on income received from a treaty country that have taxes imposed by foreign countries.
Term may be implied by custom. Here it is suggested that a contract must always be examined in the light of its surrounding commercial context. So the parties automatically assume that sometimes their contract will be subject to the customs of a particular locality or trade and therefore do not deal specifically with the matter in their contract.

I’ve summed up the introduction of Taxation to these slight words. Taxation is defined as a way that the government able to generate or collect revenue from the citizen of one’s nation through different sources. As what I’ve learned from Taxation course that there are two types of taxation, direct which are paid by the taxpayer directly to the government, and indirect which are collected by an intermediary (like a retail store) from the consumer. The intermediary who will file the tax return later and forward the amount of the money to the government with the return. This tax is applicable to organizations and individuals. In this reflection, I would like to highlight what I learned of business and individual taxation, the experience on working with a group for the project and what challenges I faced and how I was able to get past.
