    Parties to the main proceedings

    Applicant: VX

    Defendant: Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira

    Operative part of the order

    Articles 63 and 65(1) TFEU must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State relating to personal income tax which, as regards capital gains arising from the sale of immovable property situated in that Member State, systematically makes non-residents subject to a higher tax liability than that which would be applied, for the same type of transaction, to capital gains made by residents, notwithstanding the option available to non-residents to opt for the regime applicable to residents.
