Apple's loss in the Irish tax battle strengthens the European Commission's position against sweetheart tax deals, marking a significant decision for multinational tax regulations.
The ECJ upheld the European Commission’s 2016 ruling that Apple received unlawful aid from Ireland, compelling the recovery of 13 billion euros in unpaid taxes.
Margrethe Vestager's stance as the EU competition chief has proven formidable against multinationals like Apple, although some of her cases have faced judicial reversals.
Apple's tax practices have been scrutinized for their legality since the Commission demanded a repayment of taxes based on unfair tax advantages over a decade.
