The Conseil d'Etat clarifies the notion of an exclusively tax-related purpose in the case of abuse of rights by evasion of the law

Abuse of rights by evasion of the law: the Conseil d'Etat clarifies the notion of an exclusively tax-related purpose.

In a study published in Les Nouvelles Fiscales (Lamy Liaisons), our lawyers Alexandre Polak, Thibaut Hubert and Arthur Nadot analyze a Conseil d'Etat ruling of November 29, 2024 (CE, 29 nov. 2024, n°487707 B), which broadens the scope of abuse of tax law by artificial interposition of companies.
