National courts play a crucial role in the application of EU law. Apart from the everyday application of EU law on a case, it is their task to contribute to a uniform interpretation by identifying unclear EU law questions to be referred to the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling. For tax practitioners, it is essential to know how a national tax court will apply EU law and when a reference to the ECJ has to be made.
The 4th CFE Professional Affairs Conference took place in Brussels on 29 November 2011. It dealt with regulation of the tax profession at national level and recent developments in EU legislation and ECJ case-law that may impact on regulation.
The Tax Academy, a subsidiary of the Chamber of Tax Advisers of the Czech Republic, has published a book 'Taxes in Russia'.
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary the Chamber of Tax Advisers of Russia celebrated with more than 400 participants a major event on the 2nd and 3rd February 2012 in Moscow.
