- The Supreme Court ruled that the provision of an alcoholic drink during a theater performance intermission is a separate service from the admission to the performance.
- The alcoholic drink is subject to the general VAT rate, not the reduced rate applicable to theater admission.
- The previous court decision cannot stand; the case is referred back for further consideration.
- The referring court must now assess the taxpayer’s claim that the additional tax assessment violates the principle of legitimate expectation.
