Operative part of the order

Article 73 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, read in conjunction with Article 78(a) and Article 2(2)(b) of that directive,
must be interpreted as meaning that where a taxable person for value added tax (VAT) purposes has incorrectly included a zero rate of VAT on the invoices issued to final consumers, whereas a higher rate was applicable, the price or the amount stated on those invoices must nevertheless be considered to be a price that already includes VAT, unless, under national law, the taxable person is able to pass on the VAT corresponding to application of the corrected rate to the final consumers and recover that VAT from them.
