Book Description
'Taxation affects all of us, directly or indirectly, on a daily basis in numerous ways. For those involved in studying and researching taxation, matters of definition and understanding of taxation terms frequently arise. Simon James' 1998 first edition has been where I first turn to as a reference source to provide insightful, concise and readily understandable explanations. Specifically A Dictionary of Taxation is an essential source whether the occasion is teaching, responding to student queries, or supporting one's own research. I congratulate Simon in preparing this second edition and would encourage a future edition to emerge significantly sooner than the gap between the first two editions. Every researcher and teacher of taxation should have a copy of this second edition on their desk.' Adrian Sawyer, University of Canterbury, New Zealand 'A Dictionary of Taxation, Second Edition is comprehensive and more substantive than a simple listing of definitions and will prove to be an enormously valuable reference. Professor James provides just the right amount of detail and insight for each entry, frequently commenting on the historical evolution of a term, and for many entries, providing a list of the original sources upon which the entry is based. I highly recommend this directory to academic researchers, makers of public policy, and private sector professionals.' Carl P. Kaiser, Washington and Lee University, US 'Simon James' second edition of A Dictionary of Taxation has arrived at last! Tax is one of those things that is universal and unavoidable, and at the same time, dynamic and intriguing. James does a sterling job at capturing so many terms herein, not just technical explanations, but also their history and significance. There are also helpful suggestions for further reading. Both experts and novices alike will find this an interesting and very useful text to have close at hand.' Margaret McKerchar, Australian School of Taxation and Business Law (Atax) 'I have known Simon for many years, through working in our respective roles as committee members for the Chartered Institute of Taxation. Simon has an extremely wide knowledge of taxation matters, which is ably demonstrated in this dictionary of tax terms and phrases. It is an essential guide in unraveling the mysteries of professional "tax talk" for the non practitioner. For those interested in obtaining further information or guidance there are many useful references to other works.' Dale Simpson, Chairman, South West England Region of the Chartered Institute of Taxation and Partner, Thomas Westcott, UK This second edition of the Dictionary of Taxation contains over 200 new or substantially revised entries to enhance the existing wide range of accessible definitions and terms used to describe various aspects of tax and tax systems around the world. The entries relate to the analysis of taxation, key concepts, major developments and controversies in taxation. The Dictionary draws on economic, accounting and legal aspects of taxation as well as the contributions of other social sciences to the understanding of taxation and its effects. Sorted alphabetically, with cross referencing, each entry presents the essential points of a particular law, accountancy practice or economic concept. Additionally this revised and updated Dictionary offers a guide to readers of other literature on certain concepts or practices. Written in an accessible style, it will be indispensable to all those who need to know more about the concepts of taxation including practitioners, academics and students.

Book Description
The IBFD International Tax Glossary is currently in its third, revised edition. Since the first edition was published on the occasion of the IBFD's 50th anniversary in 1988, this definitive & authoritative desk reference has been continuously expanded & updated to reflect the changes taking place in international tax & investment. The International Tax Glossary provides the broadest possible coverage of the language of taxation. The first part of this book gives clear, concise definitions in English of more than 2,000 tax terms. The second part gives an alphabetical listing of 400 English terms from the first part of the book with their French, German & Spanish equivalents. Naturally, the International Tax Glossary provides accurate descriptions of all those traditional terms that confuse those new to or unfamiliar with tax. However, it also looks at the more exotic terms that leave even those with many years of experience in the profession guessing about their exact meaning, such as: * Bed & Breakfasting, the practice of selling shares late in the day & repurchasing them the next day in order to establish a loss or to offset a capital gain * Wash Sale, a tax avoidance device whereby a person claims a loss on the sale of securities but has in fact acquired (or contracted to do so) substantially similar or identical securities * Olim, an Israeli term for new immigrants who are given various tax benefits * Rort, an Australian term denoting the deliberate & blatant exploitation of an opportunity in an improper, if not technically illegal, manner * Alcabala, an old Spanish turnover tax levied on the sales price or exchange value of tangible property The listing of terms with their subscriptions is extensively cross-referenced indicating similar or related terms as well as contrasting terms.
