(2022/C 418/05)
Language of the case: English
Referring court
Income Tax Tribunal of Gibraltar (United Kingdom)
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Fossil (Gibraltar) Limited
Defendant: Commissioner of Income Tax
Operative part of the judgment
Commission Decision (EU) 2019/700 of 19 December 2018 on the State aid SA.34914 (2013/C) implemented by the United Kingdom as regards the Gibraltar Corporate Income Tax Regime
must be interpreted as meaning
that it does not preclude the national authorities responsible for the recovery from the beneficiary of aid which is unlawful and incompatible with the internal market from applying a domestic provision which prescribes a mechanism for the set-off of taxes paid by that beneficiary abroad against taxes for which it is liable in Gibraltar, where it appears that that provision was applicable on the date of the operations in question.
