On November 28, 2017 the Tribunal Arbitral Tributário (Centro de Arbitragem Administrativa — CAAD) lodged a request for a preliminary ruling regarding the interpretation of of Article 90 of the VAT Directive.

 

Questions referred for a preliminary ruling

1.  Do the principle of neutrality and Article 90 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 preclude national legislation such as Article 78(11) of the Código do Imposto sobre o Valor Acrescentado (Value Added Tax Code), which is interpreted to the effect that the tax may not be adjusted, in the event of non-payment, before the purchaser of the goods or service, being a taxable person, has been notified of the cancellation of the tax for the purposes of rectifying the deduction initially made?

2.  If so, do the principle of neutrality and Article 90 of Directive 2006/112/EC preclude national legislation such as Article 78(11) of the Código do Imposto sobre o Valor Acrescentado, which is interpreted to the effect that the tax may not be adjusted, in the event of non-payment, where the purchaser of the goods or service, being a taxable person, was not notified of the cancellation of the tax within the time-limit for deducting the tax laid down in Article 98(2) of the Value Added Tax Code?
