EU court says Amazon won't have to pay its $300 million tax bill - Engadget

Under European Commission executive VP Margrethe Vestager, Europe has tried extract a larger share of taxes from the enormous revenues earned by Amazon, Apple, Google and other US tech giants.

It also lost on appeal after demanding that Apple pay as much as $15 billion in back taxes over another state aid claim known as the "Double Irish" (the EC plans to appeal that one to Europe's highest court)

The bloc also fined Google three times over antitrust claims, all of which Google has also appealed.
