Kernrechtsfrage
Whether export subsidies under the 'Schoggigesetz' are subsidies or public contributions under Art. 26(6)(b) MWSTV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The export contributions are public subsidies because they are paid without a direct exchange of services and serve an agrarian-policy objective in the public interest.
Extrahierte Begründung
The payments are not consideration for a taxable supply; they offset price differences for raw materials and are granted solely to promote exports, so they fall within the subsidy concept developed in the court's case law.
