(Case C-233/09)(Freedom to provide services - Free movement of capital - Direct taxation - Difference in treatment according to the place of investment)
2010/C 234/18
Language of the case: Dutch
Applicant: Gerhard Dijkman, Maria Dijkman-Lavaleije
Defendant: Belgische Staat
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Hof van beroep te Antwerpen (Belgium) — National income tax rules — Supplementary municipal tax calculated on the basis of the amount of income tax — Discharge resulting from withholding tax on movable assets — Different treatment according to the place of investment — Compatibility with Article 56(1) EC
Article 56 EC precludes legislation of a Member State according to which taxpayers resident in that Member State who receive interest or dividends from investments made in another Member State are subject to a supplementary municipal tax when they have not elected for that income from moveable assets to be paid to them by an intermediary established in their Member State of residence, whereas income of the same type from investments made in their Member State of residence, because it is subject to withholding tax at source, need not be declared and, in that case, is not subject to the supplementary municipal tax.
