Starbucks wins, Fiat loses fights against EU tax orders

The judgments show that the General Court, Europe’s second-highest court, in general endorses the European Commission’s methodology in its tax crackdown but stipulates the Commission must do its homework properly to prove its case - potentially a bad omen for Apple fighting a record 13-billion-euro Irish tax order.

“Regardless of the outcome of individual cases, the General Court seems to have sanctioned the Commission’s approach,” he said. “The Commission was unable to demonstrate the existence of an advantage in favor of Starbucks,” judges said. Starbucks also welcomed the ruling, saying it had not received any special tax treatment from the Netherlands and that it “pays all of its taxes wherever they are due”.
