Summary The purpose of the book is two-fold: (i) to present an empirical study of the effects of the ECJ’s case law and (ii) to determine whether the Member States’ responses contribute to the uniform application of EC tax law. The book aims to improve the understanding of the effects of the ECJ’s case law by providing a comparative review of the practices of the respective courts and tribunals when a case raises an issue of EC tax law. Each contributor presents the way the domestic judges and tax authorities have applied and are applying ECJ case law in their country. View sample chapter    |    View table of contents

GREIT Conference

This book is the result of a GREIT conference hosted by Lund University in June 2006, where experts from different Member States of the EU and EEA reported on their State’s reactions to ECJ’s rulings in the field of direct taxation.

Following on from this topic, two future conferences were held in 2007 in Lisbon on

"The Meaning and Scope of the Acte Clair Doctrine” and in Cetara in 2008 on

“Legal Remedies in European Tax Law”.

These two conferences also produced books that were drafted on the basis of their discussions:

• The Acte Clair in EC Direct Tax Law
• Legal Remedies in European Tax Law
