International trends, comparative experiences and practical solutions for Romania will be discussed, in a critical dialogue between academia, tax consultants and business representatives.

The third panel will bring to the fore one of the most subtle, but essential problems of tax law: to what extent the legal text is sufficient and where the need for interpretation (doctrinal, administrative or judicial) intervenes to give meaning and predictability to the norm. The panel will explore the limits of interpretation, the role of case law (national and CJEU) and the contribution of doctrine to shaping a coherent tax system, in the current context of digitalization and the complexity of financial and fiscal legislation.
