The General Anti-Avoidance Rule(GAAR) in the tax regime falls under the scope of “property rights and freedom of contracts” of the constitution and thus shall be examined from the constitutional perspective. The social obligations of property rights provide the theoretical and conceptual basis for the constitutionality of GAAR, which shall still be examined under the framework of constitution. The guiding principle to formulate the GAAR is the ability-to-pay doctrine, which is based on the equal rights of taxpayers, rather than the increase of revenue for the treasury. The principle of law reservation, the principle of proportionality and the principle of equality shall be taken into account during the revision of the existing GAAR. As for the legal application, constitutional interpretation shall be introduced, and the constitutional principle and spirit shall be taken into consideration on how to interpret tax provisions. Tax law scholars should introduce the theory and methodology of constitutional law into their studies. |
