Operative part of the judgment

A national court may not make use of a national provision empowering it to maintain certain effects of a provision of national law which it has found to be incompatible with Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, on the basis of an alleged impossibility of refunding the value added tax (VAT) wrongly levied to the customers of the services provided by a taxable person, in particular by reason of the large number of persons concerned or where those persons do not have an accounting system enabling them to identify those services and their value.
