本書共分七章，除首章基本概述與末章新興議題，脈絡上先從國家課稅權在國際租稅環境的型態出發（第二章），其次討論課稅權衝突之避免與緩解（第三章）；接著從跨國企業租稅規劃角度，探討移轉訂價（第四章）、資本稀釋、受控外國公司、離岸投資基金等避稅（防杜）機制的運作以及其在徵納關係的互動（第五章）。最後透過租稅條約的介紹進行統整，使國家與企業觀點熔於一爐（第六章）。篇幅精簡，論述則次第漸進，層次分明。
The book comprises 7 chapters. In addition to the first and last as general description and emerging issues respectively, the authors begins with the taxing power of the state in the international tax environment (ch.2), then discusses the prevention or mitigation of their conflicts (ch.3). In turn, the books takes the standpoint from international tax planning by multinational enterprises, and focuses on (anti-)tax avoidance mechanisms as transfer pricing (ch.4), thin capitalization, controlled foreign company, and offshore investment funds, etc. (ch.5) and the interaction between taxpayers and tax authorities concerned. Thirdly, the book consolidates the above perspective of state as well as that of enterprise in the section of tax treaty (ch.6). Despite its brevity, the book retains clarity and preciseness
