BRUSSELS—Amazon does not have to pay 250 million euros ($273 million) in back taxes to Luxembourg, Europe's top court ruled on Thursday, marking a defeat for EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager's crackdown on sweetheart tax deals for multinationals.

"We welcome the Court’s ruling, which confirms that Amazon followed all applicable laws and received no special treatment. We look forward to continuing to focus on delivering for our customers across Europe," said an Amazon spokesperson.
