Learning unit contents

The course is an extension of the course "Elements of European taxation" and aims to provide a deepening of the material for any tax specialist to include in its analysis of a tax issue, the European element.
The course focuses on two main themes: the provisions of the Treaty allowing the control of national tax provisions, with particular emphasis on the case law of the European Court of Justice in the field of direct taxation. We will then examine the harmonization process, with particular emphasis on direct taxation and its most recent developments, especially those relating to recents policies aiming at fighting tax fraud and tax avoidance.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Raising awareness of the increasing importance of European laws applicable to the field of taxation, namely: - to enable understanding of the concrete contribution which Europe makes to this field; - to allow practitioners to best apply the European principles to practical cases which they encounter and to integrate this information into their advisory work; - to apprehend the European construction in its variant "taxation", since the adoption of the Treaty of Rome in 1957 until today.
