Is Council Directive 69/335/EEC of 17 July 1969 concerning indirect taxes on the raising of capital (1)(as amended by Council Directive 85/303/EEC of 10 June 1985) to be interpreted as meaning that the charges of a notary employed as a civil servant for the drawing up of a notarially attested act recording a transaction covered by that directive constitute taxes for the purposes of that directive where, under the relevant national legislation, even notaries who are civil servants may be authorised to practise and are themselves owed the charges arising from that act and the State, on the basis of a general waiver, does not receive any portion of the charges for the authentication of transactions covered by the Directive? |
