Re:
Request for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal administratif de Grenoble — Interpretation of Articles 49, 63 and 65 TFEU — National legislation on personal income tax imposing a cap on the proportion of direct tax payable by a taxpayer — Mechanism known as the ‘bouclier fiscal’ (tax shield) — Bilateral tax convention — Taxation of dividends distributed by a company established in another Member State and already subject to a withholding tax — Sums deducted at source partially taken into account for the calculation of the tax cap — Justification of such legislation on the grounds of the cohesion of the tax system, a balanced allocation of taxing powers between the Member States, or any other overriding reason in the public interest.
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 49 TFEU, 63 TFEU and 65 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State under which, where a resident of that Member State who is a shareholder of a company established in another Member State receives dividends taxed in the two Member States and the double taxation is regulated by the imputation in the Member State of residence of a tax credit of an amount corresponding to the tax paid in the State of the distributing company, a mechanism capping various direct taxes at a certain percentage of income received during a year does not take into account, or takes only partially into account, the tax paid in the State of the distributing company.
