The introduction of the amendment changes certain ‘tax planning’ strategies to ‘tax avoidance’, which the paper will also scrutinize. The paper would ultimately like to offer a more ‘universal’ approach in tax matters, as opposed to the traditional ‘single entity’ approach that is usually followed while piercing the corporate veil.
