After consulting the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 390 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Slovakia may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2) In its response of 27 August 2014 to the letter of 14 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections, Slovakia requested authorisation from the Commission to use a fixed percentage of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Slovakia has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Slovakia should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
