Tax Avoidance and European Law

Tax law is one of the legal fields with the most subtle influence on European integration and EU law. The European economic cooperation project emerged with the customs union, essentially a tax law concept, and evolved alongside other topics of tax harmonization. Still, the existence of the EU tax law is disputed. The research on the topic is significant, as the integration of national economies and markets has increased substantially, both within the EU and globally. This has put a strain on domestic tax rules, which are subject to the demands of the international taxation requirements. This book explores the relationship between tax avoidance regulation and sovereignty within the European Union, analysing the impact of the effective regulatory methodsfor limiting and eliminating aggressive tax planning by the multinational companies. Focusing on analysing good practice in fiscal regulation efficiency and the results generated by the tax jurisprudence both at national and European level, its main objective is to present the argument for inter-dependency between taxation and the current changes in the concept of sovereignty. It highlights where fiscal regulation has led to uniform, yet flexible, solutions for the actual fight against companies' abusivefiscal conduct, when taking advantage of tax competition. This text will be of value to academics, researchers and advances students in tax law and tax avoidance regulation and their intersection with sovereignty in the context of the European Union--
