Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny we Poznaniu — Interpretation of Articles 10 and 43 of the EC Treaty — National income-tax legislation restricting social insurance contributions deductible from the basis of assessment, and health insurance contributions deductible from tax, solely to contributions paid in the Member State
Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
Articles 43 EC and 49 EC preclude national legislation under which the possibility for a resident taxpayer to obtain, first, a deduction from the basis of assessment in the amount of social security contributions paid in the tax year and, second, a reduction of the income tax which he is liable to pay by the amount of health insurance contributions paid in that period, exists solely when those contributions are paid in the Member State of taxation, while such advantages are refused in the case where those contributions are paid in another Member State, even though those contributions were not deducted in that other Member State. |
|
2. |
In those circumstances, the primacy of Community law obliges the national court to apply Community law and to refuse to apply conflicting provisions of national law, irrespective of the judgment of the national constitutional court which has deferred the date on which those provisions, held to be unconstitutional, are to lose their binding force. |
