Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper explores the extent to which international tax law is more than the sum of its parts. It does so by examining three recent legal/policy decisions. The 2006 judgement of the Tax Court of Canada in MIL Investments decided that a statutory general anti-avoidance rule of interpretation does not operate to bar the practice of treaty shopping for corporate residence; the 2008 judgement of the United States Tax Court in Jameison determined that the alternative minimum tax credit limitation trumps the Canada-United States tax treaty foreign tax credit as the last-in-time enactment; and the Internationally Agreed Tax Standards issued by the OECD seek to implement a coordinated international standard for tax reporting. These decisions demonstrate that although tax treaty networks and a centralized OECD structure have been put in place, the interpretation and application of these instruments reflect much international law thinking in that they invariably circle back to unilateral state policy.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
