Questions referred
|
1. |
Should the expression ‘other securities’ in Article 13 B(d)[5] of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEG (1) (as of 1 January 2007, Article 135(1)(f) of the Eighth Directive 2006/112/EG, (2) subsequently amended) be interpreted as covering a Granton card, being a transferable card which is used for the (partial) payment for goods and services, and if so, is the issuing and sale of such a card therefore exempt from the levying of turnover tax? |
|
2. |
If not, should the expression ‘other negotiable instruments’ in Article 13 B(d)(3), of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEG (as of 1 January 2007, Article 135(1)(d) of the Eighth Directive 2006/112/EG, subsequently amended) be interpreted as covering a Granton card, being a transferable card which is used for the (partial) payment for goods and services, and if so, is the issuing and sale of such a card therefore exempt from the levying of turnover tax? |
|
3. |
If a Granton card is an ‘other security’ or ‘other negotiable instrument’ in the aforementioned sense, is it important for the question of whether the issuing and sale thereof is exempt from the levying of turnover tax that, when that card is used, a levy on (a proportionate part of) the fee paid for it is, for all practical purposes, illusory? |
