Is Employee Housing a Taxable Service When Compensation Depends on Hours Worked?

The dispute concerns whether providing housing to employees constitutes a service rendered for consideration.
The taxpayer argues there is no direct link between the housing provided and the compensation, as payment depends on hours worked, not housing use.
The inspector argues the opposite, asserting a direct legal relationship between employment and housing.
EU case law requires a direct link between the service and the compensation for it to be considered a taxable service.
The court finds that the compensation is contractually agreed, clearly calculated, and not arbitrary, establishing a direct legal relationship between the service and the payment.
