Re:
Requests for a preliminary ruling — Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție — Interpretation of Articles 73 and 78 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ 2006 L 347, p. 1) — Taxable amount — Immovable-property transactions carried out by natural persons not subject to VAT — Reclassification, by the national authorities, of those transactions as taxable transactions — Determination of the taxable amount, in the absence of any reference to VAT at the time when the contract was entered into — Deduction of the amount of VAT from the contract price or addition of that amount to the overall price paid by the purchaser
Operative part of the judgment
Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, in particular Articles 73 and 78 thereof, must be interpreted as meaning that, when the price of a good has been established by the parties without any reference to value added tax and the supplier of that good is the taxable person for the value added tax owing on the taxed transaction, in a case where the supplier is not able to recover from the purchaser the value added tax claimed by the tax authorities, the price agreed must be regarded as already including the value added tax.
