BRUSSELS, Nov 28 (Reuters) - The European Commission on
Thursday said it had closed state aid investigations into tax
rulings granted by Luxembourg and the Netherlands to Amazon ( AMZN ),
Fiat and Starbucks ( SBUX ).
In 2015 and 2017, the Commission found that Luxembourg
granted selective tax advantages to Fiat and Amazon ( AMZN ), and the
Netherlands to Starbucks ( SBUX ), in breach of EU state aid rules.
These decisions, however, were all annulled by the EU
courts.
The Commission said it had therefore decided to close the
investigations and confirmed that the companies were not given
selective tax advantages contrary to EU state aid rules.
