EU Tax Ruling on Fiat-Chrysler Is Rejected by Court

Courts have previously rejected rulings against Apple, Amazon and Starbucks, but global corporate-tax deal could address underlying issues if approved

The setback follows similar reversals in tax cases involving Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Starbucks Corp.
