Language of the case: Finnish

Referring court

Korkein hallinto-oikeu

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Oy AA

Re:

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Korkein hallinto-oikeus — Interpretation of Articles 43, 56 and 58 EC — Income tax legislation — Deductibility by a company of sums paid as an intra-group transfer conditional on the transferee company also having its establishment in the Member State concerned

Operative part of the judgment

Article 43 EC does not preclude a system instituted by legislation of a Member State, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, whereby a subsidiary resident in that Member State may not deduct an intra-group financial transfer which it makes in favour of its parent company from its taxable income unless that parent company has its establishment in that same Member State.
