ECJ sets hearing date for May 23rd via IrishTimesBiz
Paul Gallagher, SC, who retired as attorney general late last year after a second time in the role, will lead the Government’s response to the appeal. He was also the Irish legal lead at the General Court hearing in late 2019.
The ECJ moved last November to overturn a 2019 General Court ruling that the commission had been correct in ordering Fiat Chrysler four years earlier to pay Luxembourg €30 billion in back taxes. The commission has claimed in its Apple case appeal that the General Court made “several errors of law” in its 2020 ruling. The Department of Finance spokesman declined to comment on any elements of the State’s response pending the hearing in May.
In its 2016 finding the commission claimed two Irish tax rulings had, for more than two decades, artificially reduced Apple’s tax burden, which in 2014 was as low as 0.005 per cent.
