Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Appellants and defendants at first instance: Direcţia Generală Regională a Finanţelor Publice Galaţi – Administraţia Judeţeană a Finanţelor Publice Vrancea, Direcţia Generală de Administrare a Marilor Contribuabili

Respondent and applicant at first instance: Greentech SA

Operative part of the judgment

Articles 168 and 203 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as well as the principles of the neutrality of value added tax (VAT) and effectiveness,

must be interpreted as not precluding a piece of national legislation or a national administrative practice which does not allow a taxable person to obtain the deduction of the input VAT on a transaction which, following a tax audit, has been reclassified by the tax authorities as a transaction not subject to VAT, even though it appears impossible or excessively difficult for that taxable person to obtain, from the seller, reimbursement of the VAT thus unduly paid. However, those principles require that, in such a situation, that taxable person be able to apply directly to the tax authorities for reimbursement.
