The Advocate General Rantos concludes that the supply of services for consideration within a VAT group composed of closely linked persons does not fall within the scope of VAT. S, a public foundation and financier of a university, carries out patient care and public tasks (student training). U-GmbH, a company owned by S, provides cleaning, laundry, and patient transport services for S. The German tax authorities consider S’s activities and those of U-GmbH as a single undertaking, requiring a joint VAT return. The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that Germany can designate S as the sole taxpayer of the group.
