  • The resale of tickets is mainly done through online platforms
  • VAT is calculated using the margin scheme
  • The tickets are for music performances, theater shows, and sports events
  • The entrepreneur provides access to events through ticket resale
  • The reduced VAT rate applies to providing access to music, theater, and sports events
  • The nature of the service is crucial for determining the VAT rate
  • The resale of tickets does not change the nature of the service
  • A court ruling regarding the role of a platform in ticket resale is not relevant in this case
