Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Hoge Raad der Nederlanden — Interpretation of Article 18 EC (now Article 21 TFEU) — National rule imposing a registration tax on the first use of a vehicle on the national road network — Liability to tax of a person residing in the Member State in question who has borrowed a vehicle registered in another Member State from a person residing in that State for the purposes of private use for a brief period in the first Member State
Operative part of the judgment
Article 56 EC must be interpreted as meaning that it precludes legislation of a Member State which requires residents who have borrowed a vehicle registered in another Member State from a resident of that State to pay, on first use of that vehicle on the national road network, the full amount of a tax normally due on registration of a vehicle in the first Member State, without taking account of the duration of the use of that vehicle on that road network and without that person being able to invoke a right to exemption or reimbursement where that vehicle is neither intended to be used essentially in the first Member State on a permanent basis nor, in fact, used in that way.
