Taxes & Fines: EU’s landmark judgements

The European Union’s top court has delivered two landmark rulings against tech giants Apple and Google. The two cases address different legal issues. The Google case is largely about antitrust law, while the Apple case centers on the European Union’s ability to intervene in areas of tax policy in one of its member nations. The court’s decision is seen as a significant victory for the European Commission and a validation of its efforts to curb the market power of big tech companies.
