AB  - Ubrzane reforme srpskog poreskog prava, najčešće zasnovane na komparativnim uzorima, dovele su do značajnog obima takozvanog zakona u mirovanju budući da zbog nedostatka znanja i iskustva sistem nije bio spreman za njegovu primenu. Članak istražuje neke aspekte legitimnosti srpskog poreskog zakonodavstva, na prvom mestu posledice neusaglašenosti između propisa i načina na koji se poreski obveznici ponašaju, pri čemu su se autori oslanjali na slučaj oporezivanja takozvanih frilensera. Pažnja je usmerena na ključna pitanja pravne sigurnosti koja nastaju iz sudara promena koje su posledica savremenog doba i primene statičnih poreskih normi na okolnosti koje su bile nezamislive u vreme njihovog usvajanja. Istraživanje pokazuje da srpski propisi i relevantna praksa ne pružaju efikasnu zaštitu u ovakvim slučajevima, između ostalog jer princip legitimnih očekivanja kod nas još uvek nije naišao na značajniji odjek. Predlaže se institucionalni mehanizam koji uključuje izmene i dopune Zakona o poreskom postupku i poreskoj administraciji i barem jedan krug javnih konsultacija u cilju otklanjanja pravne nesigurnosti prouzrokovane neadekvatnom primenom poreskih zakona.
AB  - The speedy reforms of Serbia's tax legislation, often introduced on the basis of comparative sources, has created a significant body of dormant legislation, due to the lack of knowledge and experience to implement them. The article explores some aspects of legitimacy of Serbian tax legislation, namely the consequences of the misalignment of tax law provisions with taxpayers behavior, using the example of unregistered freelancer taxation. The authors address fundamental legal certainty issues arising from the clash between changes brought on by innovation and imposition of static tax legislation to circumstances unimaginable at the time the legislation was enacted. Analysis has shown that Serbian legislation and caselaw do not provide an effective remedy for these cases, since the principle of legitimate expectations, as developed elsewhere in Europe, is still distant. The authors propose a specific institutional mechanism for overcoming uncertainty in similar situations.

AB  - Mobility should be at the core of the reallocation of taxing rights debate. With such a premise in mind, this contribution addresses this issue within Pillar One in its two components: the apportionment of taxing rights to market jurisdictions on residual profits of the most significant MNEs worldwide (Amount A) and the standardization of the remuneration of related party distributors that perform baseline marketing and distribution activities in market jurisdictions (Amount B). The aim is to show that not only the mobility of individuals but also that of MNE structures when deciding on their presence in market jurisdictions are relevant in building new paradigms on the allocation of taxing rights at a cross-border level through the specific impact of the said OECD proposal. Even if Pillar One seems doomed to fail, lessons learned from its design and its specific impact on mobility matters should inform further developments in reshaping international taxation.

Ustavna obaveza istovetnog poreskog tretmana braka, vanbračne zajednice i istopolnih zajednica u Republici Srbiji

AB  - U ovom radu autor usmerava svoju pažnju na načelno pitanje poreskog tretmana istopolnih zajednica u poređenju sa tretmanom koji je predviđen za heteroseksualne bračne i vanbračne zajednice u srpskom pravu. Različit tretman određenih društvenih pojava može predstavljati zabranjeni oblik diskriminacije samo pod uslovom da pokažemo da su posmatrane pojave uporedive, i to upravo iz perspektive objekta zaštite koji je predviđen zabranom diskriminacije. Problem sa kojim se suočavamo jeste da se naše razumevanje određenih pojava menjalo kroz vreme, za šta je najbolji primer činjenica da bi i Aristotel, tvorac koncepta diskriminacije, imao problem da razume tvrdnju da su svi ljudi jednaki u svojim pravima i obavezama pred zakonom. Autor polazi od premise da poreski tretman istopolnih zajednica treba posmatrati kroz vizuru načela jednakosti u poreskom pravu, koje je sadržano u čl. 91. st. 2. Ustava Srbije kojim se nalaže da je obaveza plaćanja poreza i drugih dažbina opšta i da se zasniva na ekonomskoj moći obveznika. Stoga u slučaju da istopolna zajednica sadrži iste one aspekte koji utiču na ekonomsku moć obveznika, aspekte koji postoje u slučaju heteroseksualnog braka i vanbračne zajednice, Ustav Srbije nam nalaže da joj obezbedimo istovetan poreski tretman koji je posledica života u heteroseksualnoj zajednici. Na ovaj način autor otvara prostor i za kritički osvrt na poreske norme Nacrta zakona o istopolnim zajednicama iz 2021. godine, odnosno za predlaganje rešenja koja bi omogućila lakše, a pre svega održivije, postizanje osnovnog cilja kome se teži, a to je svakako otklanjanje diskriminacije istopolnih zajednica u srpskom pravnom sistemu.
AB  - In this paper the author focuses on the question of the tax treatment of same-sex partnerships in comparison to the treatment provided for heterosexual marriages and common law partnerships (extramarital unions) in the Serbian law. Namely, different treatment of certain social phenomena can represent a prohibited form of discrimination only under the condition that we show that the observed phenomena are comparable, precisely from the view point of the object of protection provided by the prohibition of discrimination. The problem we face is that our understanding of certain phenomena has changed over time, as best illustrated by the fact that Aristotle, who introduced the concept of discrimination, would have found it difficult to understand the postulate that all people are equal in their rights and obligations before the law. The author starts from the premise that the tax treatment of same-sex partnerships should be viewed through the perspective of the principle of equality in tax law, the principle contained in Article 91, para. 2 of the Serbian Constitution, which stipulates that the obligation to pay taxes and other duties shall be general and based on the economic power of taxpayers. Therefore, if a same-sex union contains the same aspects that affect the economic power of taxpayers, aspects that exist in the case of heterosexual marriage and extramarital union, then the Serbian Constitution requires us to provide it with equal tax treatment resulting from living in a heterosexual partnership. In this way the author opens up the space for a critical review of the tax norms in the 2021 Draft Law on Same-Sex Partnerships, i.e. for proposing solutions that would enable easier, and above all more sustainable key goal the law aspires to, which is to eliminate discrimination of the same-sex partnerships in the Serbian legal system.

AB  - The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of flexible forms of work, those forms of work that have essentially been enabled by the development of modern technologies. In the case of flexible forms of work, evasion of taxes and, perhaps more importantly, contributions to compulsory social security are quite pervasive. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Serbian Tax Administration tried to collect taxes from persons who pursued flexible forms of work for employers or clients from abroad, which led to protests. Ultimately, the negotiations with the Serbian Government resulted in an agreement on transitional solutions, as well as future changes in the tax regulations. This paper aims to explain the essence of the problem that arises in Serbian tax law in connection with flexible forms of work, to analyze the proposed transitional solutions, as well as to offer some suggestions that could lead to longer-term solutions to this problem.

AB  - This paper presents the story of the world's first multilateral double taxation treaty, a treaty concluded in Rome after the end of World War I by all the successor states of former Austria-Hungary with the exception of Czechoslovakia. On the centennial of this treaty the authors first present its historical, legal and economic background and attempt to determine which of the quite few already existing double taxation treaties served as the model for a document which preceded the work done under the auspices of the League of Nations on the topic of double taxation. Concluding that it was the 1899 Austria-Hungary/Prussia double taxation treaty which served as inspiration for the drafters of the 1922 Rome double tax convention, the authors continue to analyse and compare their individual provisions. Subsequently, the authors turn to the question of why this multilateral treaty never came into force and present interesting historical data found in the archives of Yugoslavia. In the end, the authors conclude that the tale of the Rome double taxation convention reminds us in our modern environment about the values of common sense even in adverse political circumstances and clearly shows that multilateralism should not be abandoned as a prospective option.

AB  - This paper begins with the recapitulation of the generally accepted view that the key problem with the current permanent establishment (PE) definition in international tax treaty law, particularly regarding the new digital economy, lies in its dependence on the existence of a fixed place of business in the source state. It continues with invoking what seems to have been the goal of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative, the BEPS promise, to conduct an extensive revision of the foundations of international tax law, among which the PE principle and the corresponding PE definition hold a prominent place, in order to ensure their endurance in the new digital age. An analysis of the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) provisions shows that, post 2017, the PE definition is exactly where it was in the past as the changes introduced by virtue of the MLI addressed long existing questions that arose in the distant analogous past. The author shows that the quest to compensate the market/user jurisdiction, which is driving the post MLI digital economy taxation debate. It is overly focused on one particular issue and overlooks the problem that digital business models are capable of creating their products and services anywhere without having a fixed place of business in the classical sense. Based on this premise, the paper concludes with a plea for the introduction of a new PE form - the work jurisdiction PE or, to be more precise, a workforce presence PE concept. This appeal also serves to bring the current international tax law debate more in accordance with the interests of developing countries.

Modern technological advancements, the changes in the way in which human labor is performed, developments in our cultural attitudes to the concepts of family and home, as well as the globalization of our societies seen perhaps most evidently in the dominance of the English language as the first true planetary lingua franca has enabled an unprecedented mobility and interaction of humanity. This Chapter attempts to outline the potential consequences of the described developments on the existing international tax order and focuses on the impact of migratory tendencies on the concept of tax residence (i.e., on what we see as justifying unlimited tax liability), on the effect of migration enabling developments, primarily technological and those related to the way in which work is performed on our understanding of where is the source of income, the growing problem of the brain (and increasingly population) drain, and on the dangers to our social contract which emanate from the measures to attract or keep certain sections of population.

Taxing artificial intelligence and robots: Critical assessment of potential policy solutions and recommendation for alternative approaches-Sovereign measure: Education taxes/global measure: Global education tax or planetary tax

AB  - In recent years, investments in technology have resulted in an exponential growth of AI/robots. It is argued that some of these innovations are able to outperform and replace humans in various types of jobs. Accordingly, concerns regarding government revenues have been raised, as AI/robots could trigger widespread unemployment with the result that less tax revenue will accrue to the government. This contribution, as a start, analyses whether or not this is truly a concern. In order to do so, the authors map the Industrial Revolution(s) that humankind has witnessed and then conduct a literature review of economic and demographic studies relevant to the debate. The economic studies indicate two different directions, that is, some argue that AI/robots (Industry 4.0) will increase human jobs whereas others argue that jobs could disappear. At the same time, the demographic perspective indicates that a purely economic employment-focused view of AI/robots is bound to lead to inconclusive results. Assuming that this is a probable concern, the authors summarize selected measures taken by governments as well as the various options that have been considered in academic literature to introduce taxes on AI/robots. Subsequently, the authors analyse the various "taxing" options from the perspective of commonly accepted tax policy principles applicable to electronic commerce (Ottawa Taxation Framework conditions). This analysis indicates that several proposals (e.g. proposals that treat AI/robots as independently taxable subjects or proposals that attribute income to owners of AI/robots) breach the principles of (i) neutrality; (ii) simplicity and certainty; (iii) efficiency; (iv) effectiveness and fairness; and (v) flexibility. Thus, such measures should not be pursued. The authors also conclude that, at this stage, targeted taxes on AI/robots should not be introduced, as this would also be contrary to the measures taken by governments globally to promote research and development (R and D) (input or output incentives). The present contribution therefore suggests that governments need to be proactive rather than reactive in this area. This could be achieved by monitoring the impact of AI/robots on a regular basis, and if the trend indicates that jobs are disappearing or revenues are declining, then the article suggests that states raise funds from an earmarked education tax. The funds raised from this tax, among other objectives, should be used to finance and foster professional educational programmes to reskill workers, besides assisting and guiding them to transition into new roles. However, a national measure may not be sufficient to tackle the issue (issues) at stake, especially in light of the demographic perspective discussed in the contribution. Thus, considering some jurisdictions may not be in a position to implement or fully benefit from an education tax, the authors also discuss the possibility of implementing a global fiscal redistribution mechanism (multilateral solution) from developed (surrender jurisdictions) to developing countries (recipient jurisdictions). The latter, depending on its scope, could be in the form of a global education tax or more broadly a planetary tax.

After providing a description of the current Serbian law-making and public consultations framework, and analyzing the relevance of the transitional nature of the Serbian political environment on the approach to the business of legislating, the authors choose three case studies which lead to the conclusion that it is the lack of even basic knowledge regarding taxation, at the level of the members of parliament and the media, combined with the silence and inertness of Serbian professional circles to participate in public debates on tax policy, that is enabling many questionable norms to enter Serbian legislation without any notable opposition or deliberation. Finally, the authors propose certain measures that could improve the public consultations process.

AB  - In this article, the author raises major policy questions, which emanate from the new digital economy setting, regarding the current normative framework for delineating taxation rights over employment income in our tax treaties, namely article 15 of the OECD/UN Models (2017). The author questions our reliance on the tax residence of individuals as the safe anchor for attributing taxation prerogatives, as well as our understanding of how and where employment is exercised. Furthermore, the author shows that labour law developments are making our tax treaty rules, which are currently based on the belief in the existence of a common international understanding of the concepts of employment and employer (employment relationship), increasingly inoperable. Based on the provided analysis, the author suggests amendments to article 15 of the OECD/UN Models (2017) to improve their alignment with the new digital reality.

AB  - This article shows that the principle of legality of a tax norm is not exhausted in its 'source' component (i.e. that the norm is enacted by parliament) but also encompasses the 'content' element - a set of requirements for it to be deemed as good law. It is not just retroactivity of a law that is an issue, but legal certainty is also jeopardized by retroactive interpretation implying changes in interpretation of the same norm by authorities who understood it for a long period in a different sense. A threat to legal certainty also exists when a provision that was dormant for years is suddenly applied. A case study shows that the Serbian Parliament issued an authentic interpretation of a tax norm to assert essentially a different interpretation compared to the one well-established in the past, in order to solve a particular case, while a court used that interpretation to pass judgment in a pending case. Within the EU we find notable cases where not only are norms attributed a certain meaning from their inception, even though 60 years may have passed from their initial introduction to the possibility of the existence of a 'new meaning' being suggested for the first time, but taxpayers are made to suffer the consequences of the new interpretation. Had the legislator been able to pay more attention to the content of the bills and apply a more comprehensive approach to current issues, the legal certainty, in terms of avoiding 'innovative' retroactive interpretations, could be preserved.

Principle focus is directed towards the policy drivers behind the 2012 and 2013 comprehensive reform of the Serbian transfer pricing provisions, which the author analyses with the added value of hindsight. Despite a generally positive view on what was achieved by the 2012 amendments to the Serbian transfer pricing legislation, the author offers a divergent view.

Cilj ovog rada je da pokaže da troškovi reklame i propagande imaju, međutim, svoje puno opravdanje ne samo sa stanovišta poslovanja, već i sa poreskog stanovišta, pošto često doprinose boljem i profitabilnijem poslovanju privrednog društva, što se odražava u većoj dobiti, usled čega ono plaća veći iznos na ime poreza na dobit.
AB  - In accordance with their business strategy and financial possibilities, companies allocate certain funds to promote them and their business. In this paper, the authors seek to distinguish the entertainment costs from advertising and economic promotion costs, pointing out the dilemmas arising in practice and giving a number of illustrative examples. It is necessary to determine the nature of a certain expense from the tax point of view and assert whether it shall be treated as an entertainment cost or the cost of advertising and propaganda. Delimitation of those expenses is important with respect to their recognition as expenditures for tax purposes, which reduce the tax base of the corporate profits tax. In the Serbian system of the corporate profits taxation such expenses are limited, i.e. they are not recognized in the full amount for the purposes of determining taxable profit. Thus, the legislator wanted to prevent erosion of the tax base and an illegitimate tax evasion. The aim of this paper is to show that advertising expenses are, however, fully justified, not only from the standpoint of business, but also from a tax point of view, since they often contribute to a better and more profitable business of the company, which is reflected in higher profits and thus in higher amount of taxes on profits.

Cilj ovog rada je da pokaže da troškovi reklame i propagande imaju, međutim, svoje puno opravdanje ne samo sa stanovišta poslovanja, već i sa poreskog stanovišta, pošto često doprinose boljem i profitabilnijem poslovanju privrednog društva, što se odražava u većoj dobiti, usled čega ono plaća veći iznos na ime poreza na dobit., In accordance with their business strategy and financial possibilities, companies allocate certain funds to promote them and their business. In this paper, the authors seek to distinguish the entertainment costs from advertising and economic promotion costs, pointing out the dilemmas arising in practice and giving a number of illustrative examples. It is necessary to determine the nature of a certain expense from the tax point of view and assert whether it shall be treated as an entertainment cost or the cost of advertising and propaganda. Delimitation of those expenses is important with respect to their recognition as expenditures for tax purposes, which reduce the tax base of the corporate profits tax. In the Serbian system of the corporate profits taxation such expenses are limited, i.e. they are not recognized in the full amount for the purposes of determining taxable profit. Thus, the legislator wanted to prevent erosion of the tax base and an illegitimate tax evasion. The aim of this paper is to show that advertising expenses are, however, fully justified, not only from the standpoint of business, but also from a tax point of view, since they often contribute to a better and more profitable business of the company, which is reflected in higher profits and thus in higher amount of taxes on profits.",

AB  - International taxation of income and capital is inseparably related to  different treatment. The scope of tax liabilities, as well as procedural  aspects of taxation, depend on whether the taxpayer is a resident or a nonresident  of a particular country. The source of income may impact its tax  treatment in the case of resident taxpayers, while tax incentives will be  available only in cases which may be linked to the jurisdiction whose  legislation provides them. Although non-discrimination rules in the area  of international taxation of income and capital have been present for quite  some time, it is only in the last few decades that they are gaining in  relevance, primarily through the jurisprudence of the European Court of  Justice (ECJ) in interpreting the application of the fundamental freedoms  within direct taxation issues. As non-discrimination is at the core of the  new relationships being established at the level of the European Union  (EU), the World Trade Organization and other supranational creations,  which increasingly dominate the overall life on our planet, the problem of  non-discrimination in international taxation of income and capital, on first  glance only indirectly impacted by these processes, becomes one of a  fundamental importance.  In this doctoral dissertation we have tried to answer the following key  questions:  · What represents discrimination in international taxation of income  and capital?  · When and in what scope is discrimination prohibited in international  taxation of income and capital?  · Do existing non-discrimination norms in international taxation of  income and capital fulfill their purpose and can they be improved?  · What is the relevance of non-discrimination rules and in what way  can they impact the future development of international taxation of  income and capital, particularly from the perspective of Serbian tax  law.

AB  - This paper deals with the nationality non-discrimination provision in Serbian double taxation treaties. First the author analyses the historical development of the nationality non-discrimination clause found the in the OECD Model Tax Convention and illustrates the dilemmas related to its interpretation, particularly the relevance of residence of taxpayers for comparability purposes and the application of Art. 24.1 of the OECD Model Tax Convention. Subsequently, the author turns his attention to the solutions found in Serbian double taxation treaties which are methodologically divided into three groups. One of them stands out as the most notable, being unique in global terms: double taxation treaties which provide for a prohibition of discriminatory treatment based on residence. The author critically addresses the fundamental flaws of the Serbian double taxation treaty policy which are recognized thorough a detailed scrutiny of the relevant norms of these international agreements.

AB  - An increasing number of registered travel agencies shows that this service activity has been considered as a way for profit making. Depending on the manner of taxation of tourist services in the VAT system, different travel agencies can be recognized, such as those which provide passengers with travel services using transport, catering and similar services of the other VAT payers and in respect of passengers acting on their behalf, then the travel agencies which provide accommodation and food in their own buildings, use own vehicles for passengers' transport etc., as well as intermediary travel agencies. This paper deals with the taxation of the supply of the unique tourist services. Travel agencies that implement their own travel arrangements, using the previous travel services of other VAT payers, are subject to the special taxation scheme in the VAT system. This special regime is characterized by simplicity in determining the place of supply of unique tourist service. Also, the value added is determined by using the direct method (variant subtraction). The authors consider when the VAT tax liability arises if the travel agency received an advance payment for the travel arrangement that shall be realized in the next tax period.

AB  - Bearing in mind the very limited scope of the acquis which is supposed to be implemented within the Stabilization and Association Agreement framework, the second part of this article is dedicated to analysing the impact of the accession negotiations on direct taxation in the Southeast European countries. Although the closing of the tax chapter during the accession negotiations with a particular acceding country should imply the required full alignment of its direct tax legislation with the acquis, the reality in numerous cases in the previous enlargement processes is far from the expected. In the area of European Union (EU) secondary tax legislation analysis has shown that the accession procedure will, in most casts, ensure the timely and full compliance of an acceding country with its requirements. However, the alignment of acceding countries legislation with the part of EU direct tax law stemming from the negative integration processes is much more demanding. In essence, there can be no absolute certainty that every provision of an acceding country's direct tax legislation has been placed under sufficient scrutiny during the tax chapter negotiations process and that its required full alignment with the case law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has been ensured. The authors conclude with an observation that the various approaches applied to different countries which have attempted or are attempting to become EU Member States within the accession process, beg the question of the objectivity of the process and how important is the role of political influences and interests on the success of a particular country in joining the EU.
