- The case involved whether a municipality contributing undeveloped plots to a social housing initiative company acts as a VAT taxpayer.
- The municipality argued it should be excluded from VAT as it performs its own housing construction tasks.
- The tax authority director deemed the municipality’s position incorrect, stating the contribution is a civil law act and subject to VAT.
- The director considered the plots as developed due to existing infrastructure, disqualifying them from VAT exemptions.
- The administrative court annulled the tax authority’s interpretation, stating the municipality acts as a public authority and is exempt from VAT.
- The court emphasized that infrastructure does not classify the plots as developed.
- The ruling is significant for municipalities in social housing initiatives, confirming they are not VAT taxpayers in such contributions.
