Abstract: This chapter examines how the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) applies the principle of the rule of law to guard taxpayers against arbitrary state authority. It outlines how key components of the rule of law—such as requiring a solid legal basis in domestic law, determinacy, foreseeability, non-arbitrariness, non-discrimination, and access to judicial review—are interpreted through ECtHR case law to set standards for quality and fairness in national tax measures.
