If the European Court adopts the approach of its Advocate-General in the Marks & Spencer case it might even be said that we have now entered an era of EU-wide coherence in the operation of Member States' corporation tax systems.2 The next question to be addressed is how those principles designed for the operation of a Single Market should be applied to the tax treatment of transactions with companies with their seat in countries beyond the EU or 'third countries' as they are known in Euro-parlance.
