Operative part of the judgment

Article 173(1) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax

must be interpreted as meaning that the costs incurred for the acquisition of goods and services required by national legislation for the provision of healthcare services in respect of which VAT is not deductible, but also used for the provision of services in respect of which VAT is deductible, do not constitute, on account of that statutory requirement alone, general costs in respect of which a proportion of the VAT is deductible.
