(Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 – Article 58 – Minimum benefit – Invalidity benefits – Calculation of benefits – Type B legislation – Coordination of national social security systems – Equality of treatment)

In Case E-3/23, A v the Labour and Welfare Directorate (Arbeids- og velferdsdirektoratet) – REQUEST to the Court under Article 34 of the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice by the National Insurance Court (Trygderetten), concerning the interpretation of Article 58 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems, the Court, composed of Páll Hreinsson, President, Bernd Hammermann (Judge-Rapporteur) and Michael Reiertsen, Judges, gave judgment on 18 April 2024, the operative part of which is as follows:
There is a minimum benefit within the meaning of Article 58 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 where the national legislation of an EEA State includes a specific guarantee the object of which is to ensure for recipients of social security benefits a minimum income which is in excess of the amount of benefit which they may claim solely on the basis of their periods of insurance and their contributions. To the extent that national legislation provides for such a specific guarantee it is without significance for the qualification as a minimum benefit within the meaning of Article 58 of the Regulation that the benefit may be proportionally reduced when the insured person has a shorter period of insurance than the full period of insurance, which under national law is 40 years.

1.


Article 30a and Article 30b(1) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as amended by Council Directive (EU) 2017/2455 of 5 December 2017,
must be interpreted as meaning that the classification of a voucher as a ‘single-purpose voucher’ within the meaning of Article 30a(2) of Directive 2006/112, as amended, depends solely on the conditions laid down in that provision, which include the requirement that the place of supply of services to end consumers, to which that voucher relates, must be known at the time of the issue of that voucher, irrespective of the fact that the voucher is the subject of transfers between taxable persons acting in their own name and established in the territory of Member States other than that in which those end consumers are located.












2.


Article 30b(2) of Directive 2006/112, as amended by Directive 2017/2455,
must be interpreted as meaning that the resale by a taxable person of ‘multi-purpose vouchers’, within the meaning of Article 30a(3) of Directive 2006/112, as amended, may be subject to value added tax, provided that it is classified as a supply of services to the taxable person who, in consideration for those vouchers, carries out the actual handing over of the goods or the actual provision of the services to the end consumer.
