(Case C-440/08) (<span class="super">1</span>)
(Direct taxation - Article 43 EC - Non-resident taxable person - Business operator - Right to a self-employed person’s deduction - Hours test - Discrimination between resident and non-resident taxable persons - Option to be treated as a resident taxable person)
2010/C 134/09
Language of the case: Dutch
Applicant: F. Gielen
Defendant: Staatssecretaris van Financiën
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Hoge Raad der Nederlanden Den Haag — Interpretation of Article 43 EC — National legislation granting self-employed business operators the right to deduct a flat-rate amount from their profits provided that they have devoted at least 1 225 hours per calendar year to the activities of the business — No account taken, solely in the case of a non-resident taxpayer, of hours devoted to an undertaking established in another Member State
Article 49 TFEU precludes national legislation which, in relation to the granting of a tax advantage, such as the self-employed person’s deduction at issue in the main proceedings, is discriminatory towards non-resident taxable persons, even though those taxable persons may opt for the regime applicable to resident taxable persons in order to benefit from that tax advantage.
