Appellants in cassation: Gemeente Borsele, Staatssecretaris van Financiën
Questions referred
1)
Should Article 2(1)(c) and Article 9(1) of Directive 2006/112/EC (1) be interpreted as meaning that, with regard to the transport of school pupils, on the basis of an arrangement as described in the present judgment, a municipality should to this extent be regarded as a taxable person within the meaning of that directive?
2)
For the purpose of answering that question, should the arrangement as a whole be considered, or should this assessment be made for each transport operation separately?
3)
If the latter is the case, should a distinction be made according to whether pupils are transported over a distance of between 6 and 20 kilometres or over a distance exceeding 20 kilometres?
