    In a request for a preliminary ruling from the District Court of Ravensburg (Landgericht Ravensburg) the European Court of Justice was asked for an interpretation of Directive 2014/17/EU on the creditor’s right to receive compensation for premature repayment of a loan.

    Based on the German tax provisions existing in the years in dispute 2008 through 2010, resident and non-resident special real estate funds are treated differently, which is disadvantageous for non-resident special real estate funds.

    In a request from Luxembourg for a preliminary ruling, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) was asked whether the member of the board of directors (MBD) of a Luxembourg public limited company pursues an economic activity which is carried out independently and thus subject to Value Added Tax. In previous cases this question was addressed only for a member of a supervisory board and a managing director and answered by the Court in the negative. In the current case the ECJ has reservations as to the independence of the service provided by the MBD.
