Taxes

Abuse of law

is called the Substance Over Form Principle.

The Substance Over Form Principle is a fundamental concept in finance that allows tax authorities to disregard a taxpayer's use of a legal structure that lacks commercial legitimacy. This doctrine recognizes that the true economic substance of a transaction should take precedence over its legal form. In other words, tax authorities can look beyond the legal structure of a transaction and focus on its actual economic impact in determining the appropriate tax treatment. This principle serves to prevent taxpayers from using legal loopholes to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. By understanding and applying the Substance Over Form Principle, finance professionals can ensure that tax policies are enforced in a fair and equitable manner.
