(Case C-524/10) (<span class="super">1</span>)
(Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations - Common system of value added tax - Directive 2006/112/EC - Articles 296 to 298 - Common flat-rate scheme for farmers - Flat-rate compensation percentage set at nil rate)
2012/C 126/02
Language of the case: Portuguese
Applicant: European Commission (represented by: M. Afonso, acting as Agent)
Defendant: Portuguese Republic (represented by: L. Inez Fernandes and R. Laires, acting as Agents)
Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations — Infringement of Articles 296 to 298 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ 2006 L 347, p. 1) — Flat-rate scheme designed to offset the VAT levied on the purchases of goods and services by flat-rate farmers — Flat-rate compensation percentage set at nil rate
The Court:
1.Declares that by applying to farmers a special scheme which does not comply with the scheme established by Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, because it exempts farmers from payment of value added tax and involves the application of a flat-rate compensation percentage at a nil rate, the Portuguese Republic failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 296 to 298 of that directive;
2.Dismisses the action as to the remainder;
3.Orders the European Commission and the Portuguese Republic to bear their own costs.
