- The case concerns whether Member States can apply a reduced VAT rate to short-term accommodation in hotels and similar establishments, including ancillary supplies.
- The Court examined the interpretation of Article 98 and Annex III, point (12) of Directive 2006/112/EC (the VAT Directive).
- The issue involves national regulations that separate taxable transactions, applying the reduced VAT rate only to supplies directly used for accommodation, not to ancillary services.
