- The BMF refers to a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in its letter dated 15.12.2023.
- The ECJ ruling, known as “Apcoa Parking Denmark,” states that fees paid by users of private parking spaces for violating general terms and conditions are considered taxable compensation for a service.
- The payment of parking fees and potentially increased amounts for parking violations is seen as the consideration for providing a parking space.
- The fees have a direct connection to the parking service and are considered an integral part of the total amount.
