Kernrechtsfrage
Whether employee discounts count as supplies to related persons under the former VAT ordinance and must be taxed at the arm's-length value.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Employee purchases at preferential prices are treated as supplies to related persons; the taxable amount is the price paid by comparable third-party customers.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court confirmed settled case law that employees benefiting from special purchase conditions are related persons for Art. 26 MWSTV. The reference price is the price charged to the ordinary customer category, not the discounted employee price.
