Press Release: State aid: Commission orders Luxembourg to deliver information on tax practices

On March 2014, the European Commission called on Luxembourg to submit information that the Commission needs in order to assess whether certain tax practices favour certain companies, in breach of European Union state aid rules.

As Luxembourg failed to adequately answer previous requests for information, the Commission adopted two information injunctions ordering Luxembourg to deliver the requested information within one month. Should Luxembourg persist in its refusal, the Commission may refer the issue to the EU Court of Justice.
