Summary

What are - in view of a coherent tax design of a society - the consequences of the digitisation of the economy on the basic characteristics of existing and possibly new taxes? This research objective will investigate fundamental concepts such as taxable entities (considering robots for example) and how legislation can be changed in order to realize a more fair and sustainable taxation system, adapted to the digitalised economy.
