13.1. GAAR and General Anti-Avoidance Measures

GAAR

From 1 January 2017, the law authorizes the tax administration to make any adjustments necessary for counteracting any tax advantages obtained as a result of a tax-avoidance scheme. An anti-avoidance scheme is defined as any transaction carried out or arrangement made, in order to obtain an advantage which is otherwise not-obtainable under the tax laws.
