- The ECJ issued a preliminary ruling on Czech VAT liability for designated partners in a society (association without legal personality).
- The case involved a company working with U.S. corporations in the Czech Republic, with tax authorities claiming a society existed.
- The taxpayer questioned if it was liable for VAT for the entire society as the designated partner.
- The ECJ ruled that EU VAT law prohibits national rules making a designated partner liable for VAT on services provided by other partners who dealt with customers in their own name, regardless of civil law partnership rules.
