On 8 June 2015, the European Commission has ordered 15 EU member states to submit a substantial number of individual tax rulings at which the Commission intends to have a closer look to assess whether they respect EU state aid rules.
Reportedly, this group includes, among others, Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. This request is based on the information the Commission has received from the 26 member states which responded to its request of December 2014 to submit general information on their tax rulings practices. Estonia and Poland have not yet complied with that request. The Commission ordered these two countries to submit the missing information within one month.
