Questions referred







1.


Does the bringing together of several persons into a single taxable person, as provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 4(4) of Directive 77/388/EEC, (1) have the effect of removing supplies of goods or services made for consideration between those persons from the scope of value added tax as defined in Article 2(1) of that directive?










2.


Do supplies of goods or services made for consideration between those persons fall within the scope of value added tax in any event in the case where the recipient of the supply of goods or services is not (or is only partly) entitled to deduct input tax, as there is otherwise a risk of tax losses?
