CJEU rules that Hungarian and Polish progressive taxes on turnover do not violate EU State aid rules

On 16 March 2021, the CJEU upheld the European General Court’s judgments Commission vs. Poland and Commission vs. Hungary.

In cases C-562/19 P (regarding Poland) and C-596/19 P (regarding Hungary), the CJEU ruled in favour of both countries and dismissed the appeals lodged by the European Commission (‘EC’) against the General Court’s judgments. The CJEU did not find a selective advantage in the Polish and Hungarian  progressive turnover taxes, nor did the Court consider these measures to be designed in a manifestly discriminatory way.
