EU loses big Starbucks tax case, wins on Fiat

LUXEMBOURG: An EU court on Tuesday annulled an order by Brussels that Starbucks pay €30 million to the Netherlands, saying regulators had failed to demonstrate it received illegal state aid.

In her landmark rulings, Vestager said Dutch authorities must recoup unpaid taxes from Starbucks because it illegally allowed an elaborate tax set-up that allowed it to shift revenue abroad. EU member states such as Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have attracted multinationals over many years by offering extremely favourable tax deals to generate jobs and investment.
