Amazon won its court battle in the EU over a corporate tax repayment to Luxembourg, in contrast to the Apple and Ireland tax order last month.

The European Court of Justice ruled the multinational is not required to pay €250m in corporate tax to Luxembourg and also dismissed the argument that the tax agreement given to Amazon was a State aid that was incompatible with the internal market.
