Article 5(2) of Council Directive 2008/7/EC of 12 February 2008 concerning indirect taxes on the raising of capital
must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which provides for the levying of stamp duty on the remuneration which a capital company pays to a number of banking institutions to which it has entrusted financial intermediation services for the purposes of, first, the publication of offers to repurchase or purchase bonds resulting in the definitive extinguishment of the debt which those bonds represent, second, the placement on the market and subscription of new bonds and, third, the subscription of new shares with a view to increasing its share capital, irrespective of whether the companies issuing the securities in question are under a legal obligation to make use of the services of a third party or have chosen to do so of their own accord.
