Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: A. S.A.

Respondent: Dyrektor Izby Administracji Skarbowej w Bydgoszczy

Other party: Rzecznik Małych i Średnich Przedsiębiorców

Operative part of the judgment

1.Article 17(1)(a) of Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity

must be interpreted as meaning that the actual cost of the energy purchased, within the meaning of that provision, must include additional charges, which cannot constitute ‘taxes’ within the meaning of that provision, such as the compulsory distribution tariffs for that energy borne, under national legislation, when purchasing that energy.

2.Article 17(1)(a) of Directive 2003/96

must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which provides that an exemption from excise duty on the purchase of electricity is to be refused to an energy-intensive business, within the meaning of that provision, where that business benefits, in respect of that electricity, from an exemption from excise duty reserved for electricity used in electrolytic processes, even if that business shows that, for the same energy, it would not benefit from those two exemptions at the same time and that the total amount of those exemptions does not exceed the amount of excise duty paid in respect of the same period, provided that the criterion defined by the national legislation in that regard is designed and applied in accordance with the principle of equal treatment.
