Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicants: Belgische Staat/Federale Overheidsdienst Financiën

Defendant: L BV

Operative part of the judgment

1.Article 190 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, read in conjunction with Article 187 of that directive and in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality

must be interpreted as meaning that it precludes national legislation on the adjustment of deductions of value added tax (VAT) under which the extended adjustment period laid down in accordance with that Article 187 for immovable property acquired as capital goods does not apply to construction works, subject to VAT as a supply of services within the meaning of that directive, which involve a significant extension and/or substantial renovation of the building concerned by that work and the effects of which have a duration of an economic life which corresponds to that of a new building.

2.Article 190 of Directive 2006/112, read in conjunction with Article 187 of that directive and in the light of the principle of fiscal neutrality

must be interpreted as meaning that it has direct effect with the result that the taxable person may rely on it before the national court against the competent tax authority in order to have the extended adjustment period laid down for immovable property acquired as capital goods applied to the construction works which were carried out for that taxable person, subject to VAT as a supply of services within the meaning of that directive, where that authority has refused to apply the extended adjustment period to those goods by relying on national legislation such as that referred to in the first question.
