    Operative part of the judgment

    Article 2(1), Article 9(1) and Article 13(1) 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 fact that a municipality supplies and installs, through an undertaking, renewable energy systems for its residents who own their property and who have expressed their wish to be equipped with renewable energy systems, where such an activity is not intended to obtain income on a continuing basis and gives rise, on the part of those residents, solely to a payment covering at most one quarter of the costs incurred, the balance being financed by public funds, does not constitute a supply of goods and services subject to value added tax.
