Value added tax (VAT) – Revaluation of the taxable amount – Parent company providing services to its subsidiaries in the context of actively managing them – Determination of the open market value - Concept of „open market value“
Key aspects of the decision in the economic range:
Prevention of tax evasion or avoidance. The VAT Directive must be interpreted as precluding the services provided by a parent company to its subsidiaries in the context of the active management of those subsidiaries from being, in all situations, regarded by the tax authority as constituting a single supply which precludes the open market value of those services from being determined using the comparison method.
Proceedings concerning the determination of the open market value of the services supplied by H to its subsidiaries.

Key aspects of the decision in the economic range:
Common system of value added tax. National practice which imposes on a taxable person, recipient of a supply of goods for consideration, a joint and several obligation to pay the VAT due from the supplier of those goods, even though the recipient of that supply of goods was refused the right to deduct the input VAT due or paid on the ground that he, she or it knew or ought to have known that he, she or it was participating in VAT evasion.
Proceedings concerning F’s joint and several liability for the purposes of payment of value added tax which its supplier, V, did not pay to the public exchequer.
