- The Italian Supreme Court ruled that the VAT refund measure for earthquake-affected populations in Abruzzo (art. 33, L. 183/2011) is incompatible with EU VAT rules.
- The measure allowed taxpayers to claim a 60% VAT refund for the period April 2009–December 2010, paying only 40% of taxes due.
- The European Commission and the EU Court of Justice found such state aid measures incompatible with the internal market and EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC.
- The measure was deemed to create unfair advantages and violate the principle of fiscal neutrality.
- As a result, the Supreme Court rejected a refund request based on this law.
