                             from the Naczelny Sqd Administracyjny)

  land by the partners of a partnership - Invoices drawn up prior to registration of the partnership

                                    Summary of the Judgment


1.   Tax provisions - Harmonisation
    tax - Deduction of input tax -
    incurred by the partners with the
    not yet registered


of laws - Turnover taxes - Common system of value added
Origin and extent of the right to deduct - Investment costs
view to the creation of and for the purposes of a partnership


     (Council Directive 2006/112, Arts 9, 168 and 169)

2.   Tax provisions - Harmonisation of laws -   Turnover taxes -  Common system of value added
     tax -  Deduction of input tax -   Obligations of the taxable person -  Holding of an invoice
     containing certain information

     (Council Directive 2006/112, Arts 168 and 178(a))

1. Articles 9, 168 and 169 of Directive 2006/112 on the common system of value added tax must be
interpreted as precluding national legislation which permits neither partners nor their partnership to
exercise the right to deduct input value added tax on investment costs incurred by those partners,
before the creation and registration of the partnership, for the purposes of and with the view to its
economic activity.

Those partners may be considered to be taxable persons for the purposes of value added tax and are
therefore, in principle, entitled to exercise the right to deduct input tax. In so far as, under national
legislation, the partners are unable to rely on the taxable transactions effected by the partnership in
order to relieve the cost of the value added tax on investment transactions effected for the purposes
of and with the view to the activity of that partnership, the latter must, in order to ensure the
neutrality of taxation, be entitled to take account of those investment transactions when deducting
value added tax.

                                                             (see paras 31, 35, 38, operative part 1)
