ECJ’s Advocate General: German intragroup RETT exemption clause is no illegal state aid
In summer 2017 the German Federal Fiscal Court raised concerns as to whether the German intragroup RETT exemption clause is an illegal state aid. The rule exempts transfer or real property between affiliated companies from German RETT. If the clause would be a state aid millions of German RETT must be levied retroactively. Now the ECJ’s advocate general gives hope with his opinion after which the clause is no illegal state aid.
