In any democratically constituted regime, the real value of the principle of equality can be measured in a very revealing way: by evaluating the consistency and impartiality of tax legislation and its judicial review. Such an evaluation, using a comparative approach to applicable law in several European jurisdictions, is essentially what this book provides.
The six authors, a supreme court justice, a professional tax consultant, a tax inspector, and three tax law academics, treat such crucial issues as the following:
The authors refer throughout to all relevant sources of applicable law, including national constitutions, legislation, and case law; the EC Treaty and the European Convention on Human Rights; and the case law of the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights.
Clearly a valuable work for tax practitioners and policymakers, Legal Protection against Discriminatory Tax Legislation will also be appreciated by professionals and officials concerned with the complex day-to-day ramifications of the principles of equality and non-discrimination in European society.
