Abstract
Abstract The theme of this article is the relationship between harmful tax competition measures and prohibited fiscal State aid. The aim of this article is to present a targeted examination of the use of State aid rules against national tax measures, eg tax schemes and tax rulings, following the adoption of the EU Code of Conduct for Business Taxation in 1997. The fiscal State aid decisions and judgments to be covered are divided into two parts: the first fiscal aid wave of the (early) 2000s and the second (ongoing) fiscal aid wave, which most notably includes the Apple, Fiat, Starbucks, and Amazon cases. It is argued that an important factor connecting the two fiscal State aid waves is the link they share with the EU’s fight against harmful tax competition.
