Operative part of the judgment
Article 2(1)(c) and Article 378(1) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, read in conjunction with Article 151(1) and the second indent of the first subparagraph of point 2(h) of Part IX of Annex XV to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded
must be interpreted as not precluding the Republic of Austria from imposing value added tax on a public broadcasting activity, financed by a compulsory statutory fee and paid by any person operating a broadcast receiver in a building within the terrestrial broadcasting area of the public broadcasting body concerned, irrespective of whether the public broadcasting activity concerned is covered by the concept of a ‘supply of services for consideration’ within the meaning of Article 2(1)(c) of Directive 2006/112.
