Questions referred







1.


Does Article 198(10) of the 1992 Belgian Income Tax Code, in the version which was in force for the 2000 and 2001 tax years, infringe Article 4(2) of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive of 23 July 1990 (Council Directive 90/435/EEC) (1), in so far as that article of the Income Tax Code provides that interest is not to be regarded as a business expense up to an amount corresponding to the amount of the dividends which are deductible pursuant to Articles 202 to 204 where those dividends are derived from shares by a company which has not held those shares for an uninterrupted period of at least one year at the time of their transfer, in which connection no distinction is made according to whether those interest payments relate to (the financing of) the holding from which the dividends qualifying for exemption were derived or not?










2.


Does Article 198(10) of the 1992 Belgian Income Tax Code, in the version which was applicable for the 2000 and 2001 tax years, constitute a provision for the prevention of fraud or abuse within the meaning of Article 1(2) of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive of 23 July 1990 (Council Directive 90/435/EEC), and, if so, does Article 198(10) of the 1992 Income Tax Code go further than is necessary in order to combat such fraud or abuse in so far as it provides that interest is not to be regarded as a business expense up to an amount corresponding to the dividends which are deductible pursuant to Articles 202 to 204 where those dividends are derived from shares by a company which has not held those shares for an uninterrupted period of at least one year at the time of their transfer, in which connection no distinction is made according to whether those interest payments relate to (the financing of) the holding from which the dividends qualifying for exemption were derived or not?
