The Commission's investigation showed that a tax ruling issued by the Dutch authorities in 2008 gave a selective advantage to Starbucks Manufacturing, which has unduly reduced Starbucks Manufacturing's tax burden since 2008 by €20 - €30 million.
Komisjoni uurimine näitas, et Madalmaade ametiasutused tegid 2008. aastal maksuotsuse, millega anti ettevõtjale Starbucks Manufacturing valikuline eelis, mille abil on alates 2008. aastast vähendatud tema maksukoormust 20–30 miljoni euro võrra.
