The Belgian tax authorities demand 380 million euros from Delhaize. That payment is necessary because Ahold took over the American Delhaize stores without paying groping. However, the Belgian tax authorities disagree with the external valuation report that Ahold used for this purpose. According to the IRS, the stores are worth more than they were paid for.
A sum of 380 million euros comes with almost four times the profit of the Delhaize stores.
