Operative part of the order
|
1. |
The first paragraph of Article 19 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that it does not preclude a provision of national law which provides that the ‘transfer of a totality of assets or part thereof’ is not subject to value added tax, without making its applicability subject to a condition that the person to whom the goods are transferred is to be treated as the successor to the transferor. |
|
2. |
The first paragraph of Article 19 of Directive 2006/112 must be interpreted as meaning that the transfer of part of an undertaking, even though not all the tangible and intangible assets constituting it have been transferred to the acquirer, is covered by the concept of ‘transfer of a totality of assets or part thereof’, provided that the totality of the assets transferred is sufficient to enable that undertaking to continue an independent economic activity. |
