The VdA tax team is celebrating an achievement following a significant victory at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which marks an important milestone in the field of tax law.
In an exclusive interview with Jornal de Negócios, Tiago Marreiros Moreira revealed the details and importance of the CJEU's decision. This victory has significant repercussions for the firm's clients, as well as for the European legal and business community.
When questioned about "What was at stake?", the partner explains, "We're talking about the Allianz-GI Fonds AEVN case (C-545/19). At issue was the fact that foreign investment funds were being subject to taxation on capital income - interest and dividends - paid by Portuguese companies, as opposed to Portuguese investment funds which, in comparable situations, benefit from a total exemption from IRC."
