Boeing Backed by WTO on $8.7 Billion in Incentives for 777X Jet

  • Washington state tax break deemed to not have been prohibited
  • Airbus may still include Boeing tax incentives in broader case

Boeing Co. won a round in a long-running U.S. trade dispute with the European Union over government backing for the planemaker and competitor Airbus SE.

The World Trade Organization’s appellate body overruled a lower-level finding that $8.7 billion in tax incentives awarded by Washington state to Chicago-based Boeing for the development of the 777X jetliner constituted the most serious transgression of subsidy restrictions. The appellate body isn’t making a recommendation in the dispute, it said Monday in a statement
