Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
A taxable person for VAT established in one Member State and carrying out in another Member State only technical testing or research work, not including taxable transactions, cannot be regarded as having in that other Member State a ‘fixed establishment from which business transactions are effected’ within the meaning of Article 1 of Eighth Council Directive 79/1072/EEC of 6 December 1979 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Arrangements for the refund of value added tax to taxable persons not established in the territory of the country, as amended by Council Directive 2006/98/EC of 20 November 2006, and Article 3(a) of Council Directive 2008/9/EC of 12 February 2008 laying down detailed rules for the refund of value added tax, provided for in Directive 2006/112/EC, to taxable persons not established in the Member State of refund but established in another Member State; |
|
2. |
The interpretation given to the concept of ‘fixed establishment from which business transactions are effected’ is not called into question, in a situation such as that in the main proceedings, by the fact that the taxable person has, in the Member State where it has applied for refund, a wholly-owned subsidiary, the purpose of which is almost exclusively to supply the person with various services in respect of its technical testing activity. |
