Language of the case: Polish

Naczelny Sąd Administracyjny
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Minister Finansów
Defendant: Oil Trading Poland sp. z o.o.
Operative part of the judgment
Article 3(3) of Council Directive 92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such products and Article 1(3) of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12 must be interpreted as not precluding products not falling within the scope of those directives, such as lubricating oils intended for use other than as motor or heating fuel, being subject to a tax governed by rules identical to those of the harmonised tax system covered by those directives, since the fact of making those products subject to that tax does not entail any formalities connected with the crossing of frontiers in the context of trade between Member States.
