One of the basic principals of the EU is freedom of movement between countries. One could argue that imposing such an onerous tax on moving to another EU country breaks this principal, so maybe worth a legal challenge - for someone with a lot to loose.

    Depends on what you mean by apply. The taxation is deferred without interest until you leave the EU.
