- The municipality participated in a tourism development project, acquiring a tourist boat with other municipalities and transferring it for free use to an association.
- The association organized paid cruises, but the municipality did not receive any income from this activity.
- After the project, the municipality ended its co-ownership of the boat, making another municipality the sole owner.
- Both the regional and supreme administrative courts ruled that the municipality was not acting as a VAT taxpayer, as its actions were part of its public duties, not economic activity.
- The use of the boat for commercial purposes by the association did not affect the municipality’s VAT status.
