SYLLABUS/CONTENT

After having examined the constitutional and regulatory principles of public finance law, the course will focus on the general part of tax law. The first part of the course will be devoted to the examination of the notion of tax, the examination of the fundamental traits of the main Italian taxes, and the study of the specific constitutional principles governing the matter, in particular those regarding the ability to pay and principle of legality.

The third part of the course will be dedicated to the study of the fundamental rules on tax rulings, tax returns, tax controls, tax assessments, and collection of taxes, as well as hints on the tax process and sanctions.
