These lectures make up the first tax event for students of the academic year.
The presentation will compare the statutory general anti-avoidance rules in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. It will discuss the major cases and the issues raised by both the Revenue and taxpayers in applying the general anti-avoidance rule. In particular, it will examine the difference in the legislative and judicial approach to tax avoidance, and highlight the ebb and flow of the attitude to alleged tax avoidance arrangements in each jurisdiction. This will consider “how taxpayers can know when they cross an invisible line” and what powers the revenue authorities have in combating arrangements ultimately found to be tax avoidance.
