SUMMARY:Tax policy and the rule of law
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, political pressure on governments to act to li
 mit perceived abuses of tax systems is leading to hastily introduced\, i
 ll-targeted legislation of dubious quality. In extreme cases\, such legi
 slation can even be retroactive. This approach sits uneasily with the ru
 le of law\, that is\, the principle that a citizen of a country should b
 e able to identify and understand the law as it applies to him or her on
  any given day. To what extent can departures from the rule of law be ju
 stified by the need to preserve the integrity of tax systems? What can b
 e done where they are not? Can overarching principles of human rights la
 w be invoked to constrain abuses of power by governments?
