Referring court

Tribunal administratif

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: DI. VI. Finanziaria SAPA di Diego della Valle & C.

Defendant: Administration des contributions en matière d’impôts

Re:

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal administratif — Interpretation of Article 49 TFEU — Freedom of establishment — Tax legislation — Capital tax — National legislation making the grant of a reduction in capital tax conditional upon remaining liable to that tax in the Member State concerned for the next five tax years — Situation where a company is no longer liable for capital tax following the transfer of its seat to another Member State

Operative part of the judgment

Article 49 TFEU must be interpreted, in circumstances such as those at issue in the main proceedings, as precluding legislation of a Member State which makes the grant of a reduction in capital tax conditional upon remaining liable to that tax for the next five tax years.
