- Latvijas Informâcijas un komunikâcijas tehnoloìijas asociâcija acted as an intermediary between training providers, funding bodies, and businesses
- The question for the CJEU was whether the Association acted as a link in the supply chain or merely organised subsidised training
- Advocate General Julianne Kokott’s opinion was that the Association was involved in the supply chain on one project
- AG Kokott considered whether the Association was supplying training in the course of an economic activity
- The Association bid for project ownership, linked up with training providers, identified possible trainees, and bore some economic risk
- Latvian law requiring ERDF projects to be implemented by government or non-profit associations did not alter the conclusion that the Association was in business and entitled to recover VAT on charges from training providers.
