Brett Wells, International Taxation (5th ed.) (Foundation Press, 2022)
- "This helpful study aid addresses the international taxation aspects of the U.S. tax system. In recent years, there has been an effort among the G-7 nations to better align their domestic tax laws. As a result, principles and enforcement mechanisms found in the U.S. tax system increasingly may resemble those of other nations. However, even though there may be similarities in the design of the tax laws of different nations, ultimately the study of international taxation represents the study of laws of a particular nation. Thus, this book focuses on the study of U.S. taxation as applied to economic activity with an international element."
