Question referred

Do the provisions of the second paragraph of Article [13] of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union preclude any account being taken, for the purposes of calculating a tax household’s notional income, of the remuneration received by an official or other servant of the European Union who is a member of that tax household, where such taking into account is capable of influencing the amount of taxation payable by that tax household? Alternatively, is it necessary to apply the judgment in Case C-229/98 Vander Zwalmen and Massart (1) by analogy, when the purpose of taking such remuneration into account, with a view to the possibility of applying a social measure designed to (a) exempt payment from tax, (b) grant a reduction in the basis of its assessment or, more generally, (c) grant a tax reduction, is only to ascertain whether or not the notional income of the tax household is less than the threshold laid down by national tax law for the grant of the benefit — possibly adjusted by reference to the notional income — of that social measure?
