Exchange of views with Margrethe Vestager
10-10-2024 - 10:42
On 17 October 2024, from 10:30 to 11:30, the FISC Subcommittee will hold an exchange of views with Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Europe Fit for the Digital Age, and Commissioner for Competition, responsible for fair digital taxation.
The discussion will focus on the recent Court of Justice (CJEU) ruling on the Apple tax State aid case in Ireland and its implications on the fight against aggressive tax planning and tax avoidance, as well as how to ensure that all companies pay their fair share of tax.
The CJEU ruling of 10 September 2024 confirmed the decision by the European Commission from 2016, that Ireland granted Apple illegal State aid in form of tax breaks amounting to €13 billion, which Ireland now has to recover.
