BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Amazon does not have to pay 250 million euros ($273 million) in back taxes to Luxembourg, Europe's top court ruled on Thursday, marking a defeat for EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager's crackdown on sweetheart tax deals for multinationals.
"The Court of Justice confirms that the (European) Commission has not established that the tax ruling given to Amazon by Luxembourg was state aid that was incompatible with the (EU's) internal market," the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) said.
