20It is apparent from settled case-law that the right to a refund of taxes levied in a Member State in breach of the rules of European Union law is the consequence and complement of the rights conferred on individuals by provisions of European Union law prohibiting such taxes. The Member State is therefore required in principle to repay taxes levied in breach of European Union law (Case C-398/09 Lady & Kid and Others [2011] ECR I-7375, paragraph 17, and Case C-591/10 Littlewoods Retail and Others [2012] ECR, paragraph 24).
