Questione giuridica chiave
Whether REGA donor-card contributions are taxable consideration for VAT purposes.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The donor contributions were paid in exchange for a sufficiently direct economic benefit, namely cost coverage and risk protection, so they constitute taxable supplies under former VAT law.
Motivazione estratta
The court found an exchange of performance and counter-performance: the contribution financed REGA's promised cost assumption for rescue services and gave donors an economic advantage by covering the risk of rescue costs, even where no rescue occurred.
