It may be considered as a spe- cial field in that only a few may be welcomed. In this regard, I welcome all of those who wish to under- stand and comprehend this “misunderstood” subject. The book aims to address the concerns of those who find difficulty in understanding Taxation Law. This is especially de- signed to make the subject appealable and easy to comprehend. The discussions are made on a per topic basis since itis the best way to understand the subject. Mustrations and Bar exam ques- tions are also included for the better understanding of the read- ers, EJ. Sababan
