Key legal question
Whether subtenants in the taxpayer's salons were independent VAT taxpayers or economically dependent operators whose turnover was attributable to the taxpayer.
Extracted holding
The subtenants were not acting independently; their turnover was attributable to the taxpayer's business establishments.
Extracted reasoning
External appearance, shared premises, access only through the taxpayer's salons, coordinated operations, taxpayer-set organizational rules, and unified advertising showed dependent activity despite some private-law indicators of independence.
