Operative part of the order

Article 168(a) and Article 176 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which, after the accession of the Member State concerned to the European Union, reduces the scope of expenditure excluded from the right to deduct value added tax by authorising, under certain conditions, partial deduction of value added tax on such expenses, including inter alia those relating to food, even where the taxable person asserts that those expenses were entirely assigned to the exercise of his or her taxable economic activity.
