Operative part of the judgment
Article 135(1)(b) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax
must be interpreted as meaning that supplies relating to the organisation of sales by auction of goods provided as a pledge are not ancillary to the principal supplies relating to the granting of credit secured by a pledge, for the purposes of that provision, so that they do not share the tax treatment of those principal supplies in relation to value added tax.
