Abstract

Exit taxes may be validly justified in preserving the balanced distribution of fiscal power between Member States, based on the context of avoiding tax avoidance. However, their specific regulation may be contrary to Community Law, if it goes beyond what is necessary to ensure reasons of overriding general interest, which serve as its foundation.


In this research work, we have addressed aspects that regulate exit taxes and that are foreseen in the Anti-Abuse Directive and in Law 27/2014 on Corporation Tax that are contrary to Community Law, as they do not adapt to the need and the difference that is created between the advantages introduced and the disadvantages produced to the restrictions that cause to the fundamental freedoms foreseen in the Original Law of the European Union.
