The contribution is addressed to the analysis of the current Italian legislation namely to the investigation of the tax effects generated by Islamic financial instruments on the different players by comparing with other countries such as the United Kingdom and France, whose experience in this regard has proved to be important to achieve an accurate understanding of the evolution of the rules governing such instruments. keywords: article; bond; capital; countries; finance; instruments; islamic; law; sukuk; system; tax; taxation; transactions cache: ejif-4441.pdf plain text: ejif-4441.txt item: #102 of 174 id: ejif-4479 author: MNIF, Emna; JARBOUI, Anis title: Impact of COVID19 on the Islamic cryptocurrencies date: 2020 words: 2750 flesch: 57 summary: The implications of our study are important for cryptocurrency market main players to understand and predict the behaviour of Islamic cryptocurrency returns during epidemic diseases.
