Language of the case: Dutch

Referring court

Rechtbank van eerste aanleg te Antwerpen

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Argenta Spaarbank NV

Defendant: Belgische Staat

Re:

Request for a preliminary ruling — Rechtbank van eerste aanleg te Antwerpen — Interpretation of Article 49 TFEU — Tax legislation — Corporation tax — Deduction for risk capital (‘notional interest’) — Reduction of the amount deductible, for companies with establishments abroad the income from which is exempt under agreements to prevent double taxation conventions

Operative part of the judgment

Article 49 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding national legislation under which, for calculation of a deduction granted to a company subject to full tax liability in a Member State, the net value of the assets of a permanent establishment situated in another Member State is not taken into account when the profits of that permanent establishment are not taxable in the first Member State by virtue of a double taxation convention, whereas the assets attributed to a permanent establishment situated in the territory of the first Member State are taken into account for that purpose.
