CJEU – Advocate General expected to deliver the opinion in Case C-571/15, Wallenborn Transports

 

Questions referred

Question 1:

Is the VAT rule of a Member State which states that free zones of control type I (free ports) do not form part of the territory of the country one of the situations referred to in Article 156 as specified in the first subparagraph of Article 61 and in the first subparagraph of Article 71(1) of Directive 2006/112 on the common system of value added tax?

 

If this question is answered in the affirmative:

Question 2:

Where goods are subject to customs duties, does the chargeable event also occur and VAT also become chargeable in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 71(1) of Directive 2006/112 on the common system of value added tax when the chargeable event in respect of those duties occurs and those duties become chargeable, if the chargeable event in respect of those duties and the chargeability of those duties occurs within a free zone of control type I and the VAT legislation of the Member State to which the free zone belongs provides that free zones of control type I (free ports) do not form part of the territory of the country?

 

If Question 2 is answered in the negative:

Question 3:

Where goods transported under the external transit procedure without that procedure ending in a free zone of control type I are removed from customs supervision in the free zone so that a customs debt is incurred in respect of the goods under Article 203(1) of the Customs Code, does the chargeable event occur and VAT become chargeable in respect of goods at the same time in accordance with another chargeable event, namely under Article 204(1)(a) of the Customs Code, because, prior to the act by means of which the goods were removed from customs supervision, the goods were not presented to customs at one of the customs offices competent in respect of the free zone situated within the territory of the country and the transit procedure was not ended there?

CJEU expected to judge in Case C-378/15, Mercedes Benz Italia

 

La domanda di pronuncia pregiudiziale proposta dalla Commissione tributaria regionale di Roma, verte sull’interpretazione dell’articolo 17, paragrafo 5, terzo comma, lettera d), della sesta direttiva 77/388/CEE che autorizza gli Stati membri a derogare alla regola generale del calcolo del prorata di detrazione prevista al secondo comma di tale paragrafo e all’articolo 19 di tale direttiva.

 

La questione principale di tale domanda pregiudiziale verte sulla sfera di applicazione della suddetta deroga. Ci si chiede se tale deroga riguardi unicamente, come avviene per le altre deroghe previste all’articolo 17, paragrafo 5, terzo comma, della sesta direttiva, i «beni e servizi utilizzati promiscuamente», ossia i beni e i servizi che sono utilizzati per effettuare sia operazioni che danno diritto a detrazione sia operazioni che non conferiscono tale diritto, o se la sfera di applicazione sia più estesa, interessando quindi la totalità dei beni e servizi acquistati da un «soggetto passivo misto», ossia un soggetto passivo che effettua nel contempo operazioni che danno diritto a detrazione e operazioni che non conferiscono tale diritto. Ci si chiede altresì quali siano i metodi di calcolo che possono essere imposti dagli Stati membri in forza di tale deroga.

 

Tale domanda è stata presentata nell’ambito di una controversia tra la Mercedes Benz Italia SpA (in prosieguo: la «Mercedes Benz») e le autorità tributarie italiane, avente ad oggetto il diritto alla detrazione dell’imposta sul valore aggiunto (IVA) di tale società.
