- Do the conclusions of the ECJ also apply if an entrepreneur (e.g. platform/app operator) does not provide such services himself, but merely buys (individual) services from another entrepreneur and then resells them as a bundle?
- Are charging stations considered to be permanently attached to land, so that related services are always deemed to be rendered at the location of the charging station?
- Can charging stations be qualified as buildings in the sense of reverse-charge regulations for construction work (so that, for example, when purchasing or charging on related construction, assembly or maintenance services, the tax liability can be transferred)?

- Must invoices in the correct form within the meaning of the Value Added Tax Act be issued to customers for the services rendered?
