Top British companies have overpaid billions in tax - EU Court

[AtW]

I don't have a problem; the companies have a problem, took it to the ECJ and now the government has a problem.

Companies don't have a problem - they used the system to resolve it.

In fact, if those companies have to be reimbursed then everyone has a problem, although I suspect it won't come to that.

Why would everyone have a problem? If the tax was unduly taken then it should be returned back with interest. It's possible court will limit it to X years, they should have brought lawsuit earlier and have only themselves to blame.
