EU antitrust regulators are seeking information on German carmaker Volkswagen’s (VW) tax deals with Luxembourg, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, March 27, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Luxembourg’s tax deals with US fast-food chain McDonald’s and French gas and power producer Engie are already in the EU’s cross hairs. The Commission also opened a case to examine the Netherlands’ arrangement with Swedish furniture retailer Ikea three months ago.

The EU competition enforcer and the Luxembourg finance ministry declined to comment.
