Council of State refers VLT tax increases to EU court
Italy’s Council of State referred a case concerning VLT tax increases to the Court of Justice of the European Union and suspended its proceedings pending the court’s decision. It asked whether increases in the PREU levy from 4% to 8.6%, reached from 2021, comply with EU law and concessionaires’ legitimate expectations.
The EU court’s ruling will clarify whether Italy’s VLT levy increases comply with EU law and concessionaires’ legitimate expectations.
