Language of the case: German
Referring court
Finanzgericht Rheinland-Pfalz
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicants: Helga Petersen, Peter Petersen
Defendant: Finanzamt Ludwigshafen
Re:
Request for a preliminary ruling — Finanzgericht Rheinland-Pfalz — Interpretation of Article 56 TFEU — Restrictions on the freedom to provide services within the European Union — Legislation of a Member State allowing exemption from taxation of income received for work carried out abroad in the context of development aid — Restriction of that exemption to situations where the employer is established within the national territory
Operative part of the judgment
Article 45 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding national legislation of a Member State pursuant to which income received for employment activities by a taxpayer who is resident in that Member State and has unlimited tax liability is exempt from income tax if the employer is established in that Member State, but is not so exempt if that employer is established in another Member State.
