Press Release: Taxation: Commission requires Greece to change the way requests for refund of unduly paid taxes are treated

The Commission issued a Reasoned Opinion addressed to Greece concerning its treatment of requests for the refund of unduly paid taxes following the Judgement of the European Court of Justice in Case C-62/93. The rights tax payers derive from Community VAT law include the right to obtain the repayment of taxes paid when Member States failed to transpose it correctly.
