$(($Wsj$10\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}17$ Tax Amazon$))$ The European Central Bank ordered Luxembourg to recoup $250$ million $($ $$294$ million$)$ from Amazon in allegedly unpaid taxes over an eight$-$year period, which would be one of the largest$-$ever tax recoveries under EU state$-$aid rules. The reason for this action was that Luxembourg had granted the e$-$commerce giant illegal state aid in the form of a $2003$ sweetheart tax deal, which was prolonged in $2011,$ that illegally lowered Amazon's tax payments to the Grand Duchy, disadvantaging rivals that paid more.
