Apple also argued that the Commission had relied on principles of international taxation and disregarding Irish tax law. “It’s national law that is critical, not what the Commission would like national law to be,” as Apple’s senior counsel Daniel Beard put it. These were all landmark, high-profile cases that some described as a pan-European crusade by the Commission against perceived sweetheart tax deals for multinationals, with competition chief Margrethe Vestager at its head.
Ms Vestager oversaw a series of investigations into multinationals that concluded they had been given unfair benefits, and ordered member states to recoup additional tax. Nowadays, a very different approach has proved more successful in taming the excesses of the tech giants and harmonising international taxation law.
