This is a compilation of those various articles Peter Mason has written over the last year. They analyse tax developments while being critical of their purpose and attempt to subtly entice changes. Each individual article stands as a complete argument and contention about a specific area of tax law and practice. They draw on my experiences to proffer practical corporate tax advice and insights on the best management of the global tax affairs of business. In total they represent a rich array of tax debates on the merits and complications of our global tax system.
