Provides guidance on the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes. It also addresses income tax-related paragraphs in certain other Codification topics, including Topic 805, Business Combinations, and Topic 980, Regulated Operations.

The book concludes with a discussion of the award and its enforcement.

    Focusing on the 2012 ICC Rules – which apply to all ICC arbitrations commenced on or after 1 January 2012 unless the parties have agreed that an earlier version should apply – this book serves the needs of the following parties:

    • Those who want a full introduction to the topic of ICC arbitration
    • Those who already have a good understanding of how ICC arbitration worked under the old 1998 ICC Rules but are looking for an update on the new 2012 ICC Rules
    • Those who need to take a decision on whether to opt for ICC arbitration
    • Those who have opted for ICC arbitration and need to draft an ICC arbitration clause
    • Those who are actually faced with the prospect of an ICC arbitration

    Extensive references to relevant books, articles, websites and other resources as well as a comprehensive glossary further enhance the book's practical value.
