Questions referred
|
1. |
Must the exemption from value added tax for the leasing of immovable property provided for in Article 135(1)(l) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1) be interpreted as meaning that that exemption applies to the leasing of land in the case of compulsory leasing? |
|
2. |
If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative — that is to say that the leasing of land in the case of compulsory leasing is exempt from value added tax — then, where all other instances of the leasing of land are subject to value added tax, is such an exemption not contrary to one of the principles of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, namely the principle of neutrality of value added tax? |
