To have lost in a court of Law against Amazons tax liabilities?

(I have to declare that I use Amazon almost every other day. Along with other online suppliers.)

Sounds like vestager the European competition commissioner is another freeloader not up to the job but nice to see they want the uk to try and sort the tax problems out for them.

Monaghan called on the UK to use its role as the host of the G7 gathering next month to take “a once-in-a generation opportunity for progressive change” of the US’s proposals to radically overhaul global tax rules to stamp out multinational tax avoidance.

Spurious courts cases like this, along with losing to Apple to a bit ago, has to be costing a fortune to EU citizens.

They also lost to Apple last year in an even bigger case so well used to it

The EU did win a couple of cases today against French company Energie and Fiat.

The fact that they can't nail Apple and now Amazon, means a lot of time and money has been very much wasted.

13bn The Apple one.

250 million people'ish in the EU bloc, and they can't find decent legal help?

Staggering - or maybe they just shouldn't have started the action to begin with after all it's EU law they are chasing, yet they don't seem to know it?

Seems to be a bit of a habit they have as Starbucks also won in 2019 in a multi million Euro case

Suggest you do some digging rather than make spurious statement.

There is no cost to any EU citizen.

In 2017, the European Commission ordered the United States-based online retailer to pay around 250 million euros ($300m) in back taxes to Luxembourg.

Now...how could that be costing a fortune to EU citizens?

The Amazon case was a similar amount, result EU lost. Starbucks also a multi million Euro case, result EU lost. The Apple case a whopping 13 billion , result EU lost
