據(jù)外媒報道，歐盟委員會近期得出初步結論，認為星巴克咖啡（Starbucks）支付稅額遠低于合理的稅額，荷蘭政府給予星巴克優(yōu)惠的稅收協(xié)議屬于非法政府補貼。
此次歐盟除了調查星巴克之外，蘋果公司（Apple）、以及菲亞特金融及貿易公司（Fiat Finance and Trade）也在調查之列。
今年四月，星巴克表示，將在今年年底把它的歐洲總部從阿姆斯特丹搬移到英國倫敦，作為應對此次低稅率法案的策略。據(jù)悉，在2012年星巴克僅向荷蘭政府支付了70萬歐元的企業(yè)所得稅。
部分原文報道如下：
The European Commission said on Friday the Netherlands has given coffee company giant Starbucks unfair tax breaks which amount to an illegal state subsidy.
The claim is made in the initial conclusions of a lengthy investigation by the European Commission into the tax agreement between the Netherlands and the American firm.
The commission says the US company paid less tax than it should have done under Dutch law on profits made at its roasting facility, which amounts to an illegal state subsidy.
