I think something similar happens in the UK. It's generally believed here that laws telling you to retain data take precedence over the GDPR telling you to delete it. (I am very much not a lawyer, as you can doubtless tell.)

Yes. For example, HMRC requires that you keep various business records for 6 years (or longer, circumstance-specific) after the end of the company's financial year. Generally, the rule is "Delete the data unless there's a law that requires you not to" — and the UK's implementation of the GDPR (the Data Protection Act 2018) makes various explicit exemptions for this.
