Language of the case: German
Referring court
Finanzgericht Münster
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: EV
Defendant: Finanzamt Lippstadt
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 63 to 65 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which subjects a deduction of profits from shareholdings in a capital company with its management and head office in a non-member State to stricter conditions than a deduction of profits from shareholdings in a non-exempt capital company governed by national law.
