Operative part of the order
1. |
Article 306 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 supply by a taxable person of airline tickets purchased from other taxable persons and resold to natural persons at a price including commission is subject to the special value added tax (VAT) arrangements applicable to travel agents, regardless of the fact that this supply is not accompanied by additional services other than information and advice services. |
