1.Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as amended by Council Directive 2010/45/EU of 13 July 2010, must be interpreted as not precluding legislation of a Member State under which the recipient of a supply subject to value added tax (VAT) is denied the right to deduct that tax, provided for by that directive, where the supplier, first, has failed to fulfil its obligation, laid down by that legislation, to submit an application for registration for VAT purposes and issued for the recipient invoices not stating VAT, and, second, issued, during a tax inspection, a report stating that VAT and in which that supplier was put forward as also being the recipient of that supply.
2.Directive 2006/112, as amended by Directive 2010/45, and the principle of neutrality of value added tax (VAT), must be interpreted as not precluding legislation of a Member State which excludes the possibility of correcting an invoice where, first, the invoice which the supplier has provided to the recipient of a supply subject to VAT did not state that tax and, second, during a tax inspection of that supplier, the supplier drew up a report stating the VAT and putting forward the supplier as also being the recipient of that supply.
