- In a VAT dispute over an art installation delivered to a Danish secondary school, the Advocate General said the transaction should be treated as a single supply of goods, not a service, where the main element is the physical delivery of the artwork and the other elements are ancillary.
- The installation included gravel, trees, terracotta concrete pavilions with integrated tables and benches, concrete arch structures, and renovation of the school’s bay window facing the courtyard.
- For VAT purposes, a single supply is a “supply of goods” if its main elements meet the criteria for an art object under the VAT Directive.
- The opinion also says art objects must be distinguished from craft or commercial products that compete with similar industrial or artisanal items.
