Trends in EU Tax Law
The ECJ's direct tax case law based on the EU fundamental freedoms seems to have evolved over the last thirty years. Fairly simple, though general, EU Treaty provisions – as interpreted by the ECJ in direct tax cases - have led to substantial changes in the direct tax laws of EU Member States. For the last few years, the jurisprudence of the Court attempts to explore the boundaries of the impact of the EU Treaty on the domestic tax legislation of Member States. The course entails an analysis of the recent trends in the ECJ's case law in this area. It will endeavor to analyze the ECJ's understanding of the basic concepts on which the EU direct tax case law is based and its application in the current jurisprudence.
