(2021/C 79/16)
Language of the case: Romanian
Applicants: Administraţia Judeţeană a Finanţelor Publice Sibiu, Direcția Generală Regională a Finanțelor Publice Brașov (DGRFP)
Defendant: LN
Article 2(1)(a) and Article 9(1) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that a transaction by which a person acquires immovable property in the context of an enforcement procedure undertaken for the purpose of recovery of a loan which had previously been granted and, consequently, sells that property does not constitute, in itself, an economic activity, where that transaction falls within the scope of a simple exercise of the right of ownership and of the sound management of private assets, such that that person cannot, in the context of that transaction, be considered a taxable person.
