Contet, Principal Administrator, for the Registrar, gave a judgment on 5 July 2005, the operative part of which is as follows:
|
1. |
Articles 56 EC and 58 EC do not preclude legislation under which a Member State denies non-resident taxpayers who hold the major part of their wealth in the State where they are resident entitlement to the allowances which it grants to resident taxpayers. |
|
2. |
Articles 56 EC and 58 EC do not preclude a rule laid down by a bilateral convention for the avoidance of double taxation such as the rule at issue in the main proceedings from not being extended, in a situation and in circumstances such as those in the main proceedings, to residents of a Member State which is not party to that convention. |
