Questions referred
1.Where a taxable person (‘Trader A’) sells phone cards representing the right to receive telecommunications services from that person, is Article 2(1) of the Sixth VAT Directive to be interpreted so as to mean that Trader A makes two supplies for VAT purposes: one at the time of the initial sale of the phone card by Trader A to another taxable person (‘Trader B’) and one at the time of its redemption (i.e. its use by a person — ‘the End User’ — to make telephone calls)?
2.If so, how (consistently with EU VAT legislation) is VAT to be applied through the chain of supply where Trader A sells the phone card to Trader B, Trader B resells the phone card in Member State B and it is eventually purchased by the End User in Member State B, and the End User then uses the phone card to make telephone calls?
