This case gives the Court the opportunity to clarify and nuance its ‘substance over form’ case-law. In that context, it is possible that the telos of the respective provisions will have to be taken into account to a greater degree than before. The present case concerns a special case of an intra-Community chain transaction, the ‘intra-Community triangular transaction’. Such transactions have barely been the subject of decisions of the Court.
