For many like Lyd , there is simply no difference in how the Court applies its test in areas of indirect and direct taxation.
The language used by the Court is often used to support this argument. Indeed, in the Kofoed case, the Court specifically referred to the prohibition of abuse of rights as one general principle of Union law. The aforementioned interchangeable use of words such as avoidance, fraud and evasio
