Tax Elements: The Taxable Event

Concept and Functions of the Taxable Event

Article 20.1 of the LGT defines the taxable event as the legal budget established by law to set each tax, and whose conduct causes the birth of the principal tax liability (i.e., the obligation to pay a tax).

Mexican Public Ministry: Origins and Constitutional Role

Law2.55 KB

Early Foundations: Lares Act and 1855 Law

The Lares Act of 1853, aside from establishing a tax "to be heard in criminal cases," first constitutionally mentioned the office of the Attorney General.

Understanding Judicial Precedent in Legal Systems

Law2.13 KB

In simple words, judicial precedent refers to previously decided judgments of the superior courts, such as the High Courts and the Supreme Court, which judges are bound to follow.

It is an important feature of the English legal system as well as of other common law countries that follow the English legal system.
