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.
