Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Lexel AB

Defendant: Skatteverket

Questions referred

Is it compatible with Article 49 TFEU to refuse a Swedish company a deduction for interest paid to a company which is in the same group of associated enterprises and is resident in a different Member State on the ground that the principal reason for the debt having arisen is deemed to be that the group of associated enterprises is to receive a substantial tax benefit, when such a tax benefit would not have been deemed to exist if both companies had been Swedish, since they would then have been covered by the provisions on intra-group transfers?
