The Acte Clair in EC Direct Tax Law

Why this book?

This book is the result of a GREIT conference hosted in Lisbon in 2007, the topic of discussion was the acte clair doctrine, which was developed during the early ‘80s at a stage when the European Court of Justice started to perceive that there was a settled body of its case law and considered it opportune to limit its statements in areas in which it had already provided a clear interpretation of European law.

 

By looking at both how the case law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in the area of direct taxation fits the CILFIT criteria, and how such criteria are complied with by national courts, the book reviews and discusses the application in the field of direct taxation of the criteria put forward by the ECJ.
 
Acte Clair in EC Direct Tax Law highlights some of the current challenges faced by the EU judicial system in view of the expansion of EU law and its decentralized application at national level.
