Articles 90 and 273 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as precluding the legislation of a Member State, pursuant to which the right to a reduction of the value added tax paid and relating to debts deemed irrecoverable following insolvency proceedings is refused to the taxable person where the debts concerned have been declared irrecoverable by a court of another Member State on the basis of the law in force in that Member State.
