Palma.—A fuel tax that Spain imposed in 2002 was illegal, Europe’s highest court ruled yesterday, clearing the way for consumers to claim back billions of euros and potentially knock Madrid’s deficit-reduction programme off track.
The tax on fuel including petrol, diesel, heavy fuel oil and kerosene ran from 1 January 2002 to 1 January 2013 in most parts of Spain but here in the Balearics it was introduced in2012 and ran for eight months.
