Conventions to Avoid Double Taxation, Deficient Aspects

This paper aims to empirically analyze the transnational double taxation issue, starting from the legal framework and showing through examples and situations, the manifestations of the double taxation phenomenon. The importance of the study is of extreme importance in the current economic context, since the main concern of E.U. is to mitigate the risks of Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS). OECD defines BEPS strategies as "exploiting gaps and mismatches in tax rules", so concerns and studies in this field are of utmost importance. The integration of Romania into the European Union meant for the majority of taxpayers a means of perfecting their means of production as well as of their technologies, but also of increasing their economic and financial cooperation with different states. As a result, many natural and legal persons carry out activities from which they obtain income from two or more states. Therefore, they can be in economic connection with these states that put them in unfavourable situations, because, each state having its own tax system, the taxpayer can be subjected to a double taxation having the same tax base.
