Language of the case: German
Appellant: Finanzamt Essen-NordOst
Respondent: GFKL Financial Services AG
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Bundesfinanzhof — Interpretation of Articles 2(1), 4, 11A(1)(a) and 13B(d)(2) and (3) of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (OJ 1977 L 145, p. 1) — Concepts of supply of services for consideration and economic activity — Factoring — Purchase of risky debts at a price calculated by reference to the probability of debtors’ default — Assumption by the factor of responsibility for recovering the debt and the risk of default.
Articles 2(1) and 4 of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment must be interpreted as meaning that an operator who, at his own risk, purchases defaulted debts at a price below their face value does not effect a supply of services for consideration within the meaning of Article 2(1) and does not carry out an economic activity falling within the scope of that directive when the difference between the face value of those debts and their purchase price reflects the actual economic value of the debts at the time of their assignment.
