Limited freedom

A Finnish company which was wholly owned by a company established in the UK made a transfer to the parent company. It was ruled that an intra group financial transfer was not tax deductible under Finnish law when made to a parent company in a different EC state.

The claimant appealed saying that this went against article 43 of the EC Treaty which referred to the freedom of establishment.
