Statement of the ministry of finance in response to the Financial Times article "EU probes corporate tax sweeteners" published on 12 september 2013

Please note that Luxembourg receives requests on tax issues from the European Commission on a regular basis but is not aware of a formal EU state aid inquiry.

There has been no questioning about Luxembourg tax relationship with a specific company.

Luxembourg supports fair taxation based on international rules and European Court of Justice jurisprudence. Double exemption and double taxation should be condemned equally. Companies must pay tax but Luxembourg is calling for "effective" taxation.
