Romanian lawyers are challenging the vices tax introduced by GEO 77/2009 for slot-machine gambling at the CJEU. If the court decides that the tax violates EU rules, operators could seek restitution of the amounts paid in recent years, with a major impact on the state budget, estimated in tens or hundreds of millions of euros. This action comes against the backdrop of austerity measures and underlines the importance of complying with EU tax law. The lawyers involved are experienced in strategic litigation and have previously obtained favorable tax rulings.
