Operative part of the judgment
1. |
Articles 167, 168, 184 and 185 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that the right to deduct input value added tax (VAT) on goods, in the present case on immoveable property, and on services purchased in order to carry out taxed transactions is retained where the investment projects initially planned were abandoned due to circumstances beyond the control of the taxable person and that it is not necessary for that VAT to be adjusted if the taxable person still intends to use those goods for the purposes of a taxed activity. |
2. |
Directive 2006/112, in particular Article 28 thereof, must be interpreted as meaning that, in the absence of an agency agreement without representation, the mechanism imposing the rules governing commissioning is not applicable where a taxable person constructs a building in accordance with the specifications and requirements of another person expected to lease that building. |
