- The case has been ongoing for over 20 years, with various decisions and appeals
- The court ruled that travel services can be included in the margin tax, even if there is a negative overall margin
- The court also ruled that liquid dietary supplements do not qualify for the reduced tax rate if they are classified as a beverage
