- BFH decision of 29.05.2024- XI B 3/23
- Decision: The reduced tax rate applies to a single complex service consisting of two equivalent elements, both of which are subject to the reduced tax rate
- The Finance Court, in agreement with the parties involved, assessed the facts of the case in a binding manner for the Senate that the plaintiff and respondent (plaintiff) provided a single, complex service with her dinner show, in which she offered her guests a multi-course meal with entertainment by artists and musicians. Such a single transaction exists in particular if the taxpayer’s service consists of two or more elements or actions that are so closely linked that they objectively form a single, inseparable economic service, the splitting of which would be unrealistic.
