At this conference, we examine and discuss cases on the interpretation of the fundamental freedoms in respect of direct taxation at the CJEU. In addition to analyzing pending cases and their importance to the EU Member States and third countries, we will also shed light on recent CJEU decisions and discuss their background and relevance for the future.

Distinguished experts from the countries, in which those direct tax cases originated, will introduce the cases and their relevant domestic and European legal contexts to the audience. Participants are then invited to comment briefly on how the judgments could influence the domestic law of their respective home countries, which may include implementation into national legal systems or even no legal adjustments at all. In order to allow all participants to prepare, we will provide materials on all cases to be discussed in due time before the start of the conference.

The conference will start on Sunday, December 15, 2024, with a typical Viennese Heurigen Dinner. The working sessions of the conference will be held all day on Monday, December 16, 2024, and Tuesday, December 17, 2024, on-site at WU Vienna.

In the evening of Monday, December 16, Prof. Tracy Kaye will give an honorary lecture on the topic "The Global Minimum Tax: Consequences for the EU-US Relationship", followed by a reception at the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law.
