- The Polish company C acts as a hotel broker, offering commercial entrepreneurs the opportunity to book accommodation in hotels and similar establishments.
- Although C does not own any accommodation, it purchases accommodation services from other taxable persons and resells them to its customers at a price that includes the cost of acquiring the services and a profit margin.
- The Polish tax authorities do not consider this to be a travel service as it does not consist of a series of in-house and external services.
- However, the European Court of Justice states that the purchase and resale of accommodation services falls under the travel agency scheme, even if there are no additional services.
