Referring court
Tribunal de première instance de Liège
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Benoît Sauvage, Kristel Lejeune
Defendant: État belge
Operative part of the judgment
Article 45 TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that it does not preclude a tax scheme of a Member State under a tax convention for the avoidance of double taxation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which makes the exemption of the income of a resident which arises in another Member State and relates to employment in that State subject to the condition that the activity in respect of which the income is paid is actually performed in that State.
