Applicant: ZSE Elektrárne, s.r.o
Defendant: Finančné riaditeľstvo Slovenskej republiky
The first paragraph of Article 183 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that a taxable person is entitled to be paid interest for late payment on excess value added tax by the national tax administration where the latter has not refunded that excess within a reasonable period. The methods for applying that interest fall within the procedural autonomy of the Member States, circumscribed by the principles of equivalence and effectiveness, it being understood that the national rules relating in particular to the starting point for the calculation of any interest due must not amount to depriving the taxable person of adequate compensation for the loss caused by the late refund of that excess.
