Starting from a review of the substantive provisions of tax incentives as provided for in European law and in WTO law, the author moves on to examine how these legal frameworks are enforced at national levels. The book covers practical elements in the following areas: legal regimes of State aid and subsidy (including rules on compatibility with the internal market, classification of subsidies and analysis of prohibited subsidies in taxation); definitions of state aid and subsidy; analysis of the criteria for tax selectivity and specificity; administrative and judicial review; rights of taxpayers as private parties in State aid and subsidy litigations; remedies (including recovery, withdrawal and countervailing duties); overlaps between EU and WTO rules; liabilities in situations of conflict; case law of the Court and WTO adjudicating bodies.
