No, they can't, EU courts would strike that in a heartbeat.
Some time ago Germans tried to tax foreign drivers on their roads, so they introduced toll, nominally for all, but also lowered the same amount another car-related tax that was paid only by Germans. EU bodies saw through the scheme just fine and now they're on hook for returning the toll money to anyone still keeping the invoice/receipt.
- nothercastle 1y agoSeems worthwhile, nobody will actually keep the receipt
- throw_a_grenade 1y agoHalf yes, probably discarded, but the other half are in company books, because those were accounted as costs of operations. Even then, yes, probably worth it for the time.

Of course this is against the interest of other countries, which is why they prevented that, but it wasn't unfair or discrimination.
