Operative part of the judgment

Article 63 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding rules applicable in a Member State under which dividends distributed by a company established in a fiscally autonomous territory of that Member State are subject to a withholding tax that, where those dividends are received by a resident company, which is subject to corporation tax in that fiscally autonomous territory, serves as a payment on account of that tax and is reimbursed in full if that company is loss-making at the end of the tax year concerned, whereas no reimbursement is provided for where those dividends are received by a non-resident company in the same situation.
