Abstract
The question in the case at hand which was referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘CJ’) is as follows: Must Article 12(1) and (2) and Article 135(1)(j) of Directive 2006/112/EC be interpreted as meaning that, where the Member State has not defined the detailed rules for the application of the criterion of first occupation to converted immovable property, the supply, after conversion, of a building in respect of which, before conversion, there had been first occupation within the meaning of Article 12(1)(a) or the third subparagraph of Article 12(2) of the VAT Directive remains exempt from value added tax?
