Abstract

The present paper aims to analyze if the general anti-abuse rule set up by the Directive (EU) 2016/1164 laying down rules against tax avoidance practices is compatible with the case law of the European Court of Justice. Thus, we will present a brief resume of the actual standard that the European Court of Justice adopts in cases involving abuse. In the second section we will present the GAAR stablished in the ATAD and the main critics set towards it. Finally, in the following section, we will compare the wording of the GAAR with the ECJ Case Law.
