Adolfo Martín Jiménez wins the seventh IBFD Frans Vanistendael

IBFD is pleased to announce that Adolfo Martín Jiménez (Spain) is the winner of the 7th IBFD Frans Vanistendael Award for his article entitled “Value creation: a trend-setting light for the interpretation of tax treaties?”, published by IBFD in Bulletin for International Taxation 4/5 – 2020.

AMSTERDAM, May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Based on a comprehensive theoretical and practical study of value creation in the BEPS context, the article questions the validity of value creation for the interpretation of tax treaties.

The arguments contained in the article bring the final word to a very controversial page in the recent phase of development in international tax law. This article is intended as an important frame of reference for administrative and judicial practice to determine the implications for the future of international tax law. It is a significant scholarship that, in the opinion of the jury, has undoubtedly earned the 7th Frans Vanistendael Award.

Adolfo Martín Jiménez is Full Professor of Tax Law at the University of Cádiz (Spain) and an independent tax advisor. He has worked as a teacher, author and consultant on international and EU tax issues for over 20 years. He is also President of the European Association of Tax Law Professors (www.eatlp.org).
