Summary
The article analyses the concrete issues arising from the application of the concept of "consistency" to taxation law within the framework of EU law. Section 2 analyses the role the concept of "consistency" plays at the first stage of applying the non-discrimination rule of the fundamental freedoms. Section 3 considers "consistency" as an element of the justification or proportionality test following the finding of a prima facie discriminatory measure and identifies three tests to show the potential impact of legislative inconsistencies on each stage of the justification analysis. Section 4 applies the findings of the previous sections to specific grounds of justification, which are regularly invoked and accepted in the area of direct taxation, showing the potential of the concept to improve the reasoning applied by the ECJ in several instances. Section 5 tries to anticipate and react to potential objections against the application of the concept
