Language of the case: Bulgarian

Referring court

Rayonen sad Nesebar

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: S.V. OOD

Defendant: E. Ts. D.

Questions referred







1.


Are natural persons who own individual units in a co-owned building ‘consumers’ (within the meaning of Article 2(b) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC (1) of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts and Article 2(1) of Directive 2011/83/EU (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011) in terms of the legal relationships they enter into regarding the management and maintenance of the communal areas of the building?










2.


Does the status of natural persons who own individual units in a co-owned building as ‘consumers’ depend on the nature of the legal relationships they enter into (individual contract for the management and maintenance of the communal areas, contract under Article 2 of the Zakon za upravlenie na etazhnata sobstvenost (Law on the management of co-owned property; ‘the ZUES’), management by the general meeting of the property owners)?










3.


Is legislation which permits the same owners of individual units in a building to be treated differently (in relation to the status of ‘consumer’), depending on whether they have entered into an individual contract for the management and maintenance of the communal areas of the building or not (the management body being the general meeting of the property owners in the latter case), compatible with Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011?

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Euler Hermes SA Magyarországi Fióktelepe

Defendant: Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal Fellebbviteli Igazgatósága

Question referred

Do the principles of proportionality, fiscal neutrality and effectiveness –having regard, in particular, to the fact that a Member State may not charge an amount of VAT exceeding that actually received by the supplier of goods or services in respect of that supply of goods or services — and the exemption laid down in Article 135(1)(a) of the VAT Directive (1) — particularly as regards the requirement that that activity is to be treated as a single exempt transaction, by reference to the principles laid down in points 35, 37 and 53 of the Advocate General’s Opinion in Case C-242/08, Swiss Re — and the obligation to guarantee the free movement of capital and services in the internal market preclude a practice of a Member State pursuant to which the reduction applicable to the taxable amount in the event of definitive non-payment, as provided for in Article 90(1) of the VAT Directive, is not applicable where an insurer, in the course of its commercial credit insurance business, paid an indemnity to the insured person in respect of the taxable amount and also in respect of the VAT due when the risk materialised (non-payment by the insured’s client), meaning that, under the insurance contract, the debt, together with all associated rights of enforcement, was assigned to the insurer, in the following circumstances:






(i)


at the time when the debts in question became irrecoverable, national law did not allow any reduction of the taxable amount in respect of an irrecoverable debt;










(ii)


since the incompatibility of that prohibition with Union law was made clear, national positive law has consistently excluded outright the refund of VAT on an irrecoverable debt to the original supplier of the goods or services (the insured person) on the grounds that the insurer has reimbursed that amount of VAT to the supplier; and










(iii)


the insurer is able to show that its claim against the debtor has become definitively irrecoverable?
