Operative part of the order
Article 90 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that a Member State must allow the taxable amount for value added tax to be reduced where the taxable person can demonstrate that the debt owed to him by the debtor is definitely irrecoverable, which is a matter for the national court to ascertain, since that situation does not amount to a case of non-payment capable of coming under the derogation from the obligation to reduce the taxable amount of the value added tax provided for in Article 90(2) of the directive.
