Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on an analysis of the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union reviewing compliance of national measures adopted by Members States for the protection of their tax bases with the acquis, especially with the EU Treaties. The Member States justify the adoption of such measures by overriding reasons in the public interest, such as the need to safeguard cohesion of the tax system, to preserve allocation of powers to impose taxes between the Members States and to combat avoidance of tax. Legal framework for any possible restriction of fundamental freedoms is provided by the principle of proportionality and the principle of non-discrimination.
