Abstract
Spanish Abstract: El pasado 16 de mayo de 2019 el Tribunal General de la UE decidió anular las decisiones de la Comisión Europea relativas al impuesto polaco sobre el sector minorista en los asuntos acumulados T–836/16 y T–624/17, argumentando que la Comisión habría incurrido en un error al considerar que el impuesto polaco sobre el sector minorista constituía una medida selectiva que favorecía a ciertas empresas debido a la naturaleza progresiva de los tipos aplicados los cuales se determinan de acuerdo al volumen de negocios. Esta decisión, aunque aún sujeta a apelación ante la Corte de Justicia de la Unión Europea (CJUE), plantea importantes cuestiones de legalidad respecto a otros impuestos sectoriales calculados de acuerdo al volumen de negocios de una empresa como son los impuestos sobre servicios digitales impulsados unilateralmente por determinados Estados Miembros de la UE.
English Abstract: On 16 May 2019 the EU General Court decided to annul the EU Commission’s decisions concerning the Polish tax on the retail sector contained in the Joined Cases T–836/16 and T– 624/17 (state aid cases) arguing that the Commission would have been wrong to consider that the Polish tax on the retail sector constituted a selective measure favoring certain undertakings on account of the progressive nature of the rates applied to the turnovers. Although this decision is still subject to appeal before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), it raises important questions as regards the legality under EU law of other taxes based also on company- size, namely digital services taxes imposed unilaterally by EU Member States.
