The Portfolio examines the historical context of the law and its objectives with an in-depth analysis of the obligations and requirements imposed on businesses around the world. The Portfolio has been made available to all subscribers to the Bloomberg BNA Premier International Tax Library, the Foreign Income Portfolio Series and Bloomberg Law.
