Referring court
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: BJ
Defendant: Belgian State
Operative part of the judgment
1.Article 45 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding the application of tax legislation of a Member State that has the consequence that a taxpayer resident in that Member State forfeits, in connection with the calculation of the income tax payable by him or her in that Member State, a part of the benefit of the tax advantages granted by it, because that taxpayer receives income in respect of employment in another Member State, taxable in the latter and exempt from taxation in the first Member State pursuant to a bilateral convention for the avoidance of double taxation;
2.The fact that the taxpayer concerned does not receive significant income in the Member State of residence is of no relevance to the answer to the first question referred since that Member State is in a position to grant him or her those tax advantages in question;
3.The fact that, pursuant to a convention for the avoidance of double taxation between the Member State of residence and the Member State of employment, the taxpayer concerned has, in connection with the taxing of income that he or she received in the second Member State, enjoyed tax advantages under the tax legislation of it, is of no relevance to the answer to the first question referred, since neither that convention nor the tax legislation of the Member State of residence provide for those advantages to be taken into account and since the latter do not include some of the advantages to which the taxpayer is in principle entitled in the Member State of residence.
4.The fact that, in the Member State of employment, the taxpayer concerned obtained a tax reduction in an amount at least equivalent to that of the tax advantages which he or she has lost in his Member State of residence is of no relevance to the answer to the first question referred.
5.Article 63(1) and Article 65(1)(a) TFEU must be interpreted as precluding the application of tax legislation of a Member State that has the consequence that a taxpayer resident in that Member State forfeits a part of the benefit of the tax advantages granted by it, because that taxpayer receives income deriving from an apartment of which he or she is the owner in another Member State, taxable in the latter and exempt from taxation in the first Member State pursuant to a bilateral convention for the avoidance of double taxation.
