Free Movement of Persons and Income Tax Law: The European Court in Search of Principles

Why this book? 

This book provides a thorough understanding of how income tax provisions and tax treaty clauses may be contrary to Community law. It includes a clear overview which allows tax professionals to determine quickly when Community law applies to a European tax situation and whether a contested income tax provision violates private sector rights to free movement and non-discrimination.
