Operative part of the judgment

1.

Article 110 TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that the amount of a tax levied, in breach of EU law, by a Member State on motor vehicles at the time of their first registration may be incorporated in the value of those vehicles, with the result that the claim against the State on account of the unlawful levying of that tax is considered to have been transferred, on the sale of those vehicles, to the subsequent purchasers thereof.

2.

Article 110 TFEU must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which provides that a tax levied by a Member State, in breach of EU law, on motor vehicles at the time of their first registration can be refunded only to the taxable person who paid that tax, and not to a subsequent purchaser of the vehicle in question, provided that the purchaser who actually bore the burden of that tax may, in accordance with detailed national procedural rules, obtain the reimbursement thereof from the taxable person who paid the tax or, if necessary, from the tax authorities, where, in particular, repayment by that taxable person proves impossible or excessively difficult..
