(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Free movement of capital - Dividends from ‘free-float’ shares - Reimbursement of tax on income from capital paid by a non-resident company - Conditions - Free movement of capital - Principle of proportionality)
(2022/C 294/09)
Language of the case: German
Applicant: ACC Silicones Ltd
Defendant: Bundeszentralamt für Steuern
Article 63 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding a provision of a Member State’s tax legislation which makes the reimbursement of tax on income from capital paid on dividends from shareholdings below the thresholds laid down by Council Directive 90/435/EEC of 23 July 1990 on the common system of taxation applicable in the case of parent companies and subsidiaries of different Member States, as amended by Council Directive 2003/123/EC of 22 December 2003, received by a company established in another Member State subject to proof that that tax cannot be set off or its set-off carried forward in favour of that company, or in favour of its direct or indirect shareholders, nor deducted by that company as work-related outgoings or an operating cost, whereas such a condition is not provided for as regards reimbursement of tax on income from capital paid by a resident company receiving the same type of income.
