Language of the case: German
Referring court
Bundesfinanzhof
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Finanzamt Dortmund-Unna
Defendant: Josef Grünewald
Operative part of the judgment
Article 63 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State which does not permit a non-resident taxpayer who has received in that Member State commercial income generated by shares in a business which were transferred to him by a relative in the course of a gift by way of anticipated succession to deduct from that income the annuities which he has paid to that relative in consideration for that gift, whereas that legislation allows a resident taxpayer to make such a deduction.
