I know that corporate veil is something like a distinction between the company and its owners. Under what circumstances is the veil lifted or pierced?

The corporate veil is lifted when there is suspicion that the the fact that there is a limited liability company is a fraud or when there is only one shareholder or when a company was created with the only objective to take advantage of the corporate veil. There are quite a few cases where the corporate veil has been pierced but its the most common scenario.
