据外媒报道，欧盟委员会近期得出初步结论，认为星巴克咖啡（Starbucks）支付税额远低于合理的税额，荷兰政府给予星巴克优惠的税收协议属于非法政府补贴。
此次欧盟除了调查星巴克之外，苹果公司（Apple）、以及菲亚特金融及贸易公司（Fiat Finance and Trade）也在调查之列。
今年四月，星巴克表示，将在今年年底把它的欧洲总部从阿姆斯特丹搬移到英国伦敦，作为应对此次低税率法案的策略。据悉，在2012年星巴克仅向荷兰政府支付了70万欧元的企业所得税。
部分原文报道如下：
The European Commission said on Friday the Netherlands has given coffee company giant Starbucks unfair tax breaks which amount to an illegal state subsidy.
The claim is made in the initial conclusions of a lengthy investigation by the European Commission into the tax agreement between the Netherlands and the American firm.
The commission says the US company paid less tax than it should have done under Dutch law on profits made at its roasting facility, which amounts to an illegal state subsidy.
