Many people think their own area of scholarly interest is the most fascinating and I fall near average on all fronts, including this one.  In that vein, the rapidly shifting international framework for taxation is the musical of tax law:  all drama and fancy clothing.  If you’re not really into tax, but you at least want to glimpse at one of the costumes, check out Allison Christians’ short piece, “Friends with Tax Benefits:  Apple’s Cautionary Tale”.  It’s brief enough that you can read it on your iphone.  (And if you’re bold enough for a longer related piece, try Antony Ting, “iTax – Apple’s International Tax Structure and the Double Non-Taxation Issue“)
