In this podcast we interview Hui Ling on the subject of the European doctrine of Abuse of Rights in relation to VAT planning cases. She examines the test set out in the Halifax case which is the leading case in the area and also discusses how the test has been applied in subsequent cases and in the English courts. She gives her insight into how the doctrine affects VAT planning regimes and what sort of behaviour is likely to be considered an abuse.
