Key legal question
Whether deficit-covering payments from the parent company constituted consideration for a taxable supply under VAT law.
Extracted holding
The payments were consideration for taxable services, not mere shareholder financing.
Extracted reasoning
The company performed the catering and meeting-center activities assigned by the parent, and the parent compensated it through deficit coverage. On the established facts there was an economic link between service and payment, and the payments were booked as other income; this was not an unexpected loss assumption by a shareholder.
