(Eighth VAT Directive - Arrangements for the refund of VAT to taxable persons not established in the territory of the country - Annex A - Application for a refund - Meaning of ‘signature’ of that application - National legislation requiring the personal signature of the taxable person, or of the statutory representative of that person, and ruling out signature by an agent)
2010/C 24/19
Language of the case: German
Applicant: Yaesu Europe BV
Defendant: Bundeszentralamt für Steuern
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Bundesfinanzhof (Germany) — Interpretation of the specimen application in Annex A to the Eighth Council Directive 79/1072/EEC of 6 December 1979 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Arrangements for the refund of value added tax to taxable persons not established in the territory of the country (OJ 1979 L 331, p. 11) — ‘Signature’ as referred to in the model application for a refund — National legislation requiring the personal signature of the applicant, or of the applicant’s statutory representative, and ruling out signature by an agent
‘Signature’ of an application for a refund of value added tax, as referred to in the specimen form set out in Annex A to the Eighth Council Directive 79/1072/EEC of 6 December 1979 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Arrangements for the refund of value added tax to taxable persons not established in the territory of the country, is a Community law notion which must be interpreted uniformly to the effect that such a refund application need not necessarily be signed by the taxable person in person and that the signature of an agent may be sufficient for those purposes.
