(2023/C 223/07)
Language of the case: French
Applicant: Ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de la Relance
Defendants: Manitou BF SA (C-407/22), Bricolage Investissement France SA (C-408/22)
Article 49 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State relating to a tax integration scheme under which
a resident parent company that has opted for tax integration with resident companies is entitled to neutralisation as regards the add-back of a proportion of costs and expenses, fixed at 5 % of the net amount of the dividends received by it from its subsidiaries located in other Member States who, had they been resident, would have been eligible in practice, if they so elected,
whereas a resident parent company that has not opted for such tax integration despite the existence of capital links with other resident companies permitting it is refused such neutralisation.
