Andragendet er stilet til: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner writes that private clinics licensed under Article 30 of the Industry Code but not included in a Federal State Hospitals Plan, under Article 108 of the Code of Social Law, are treated differently for VAT purposes from hospitals that are included in a Hospitals Plan, although they provide the same necessary medical services. He is asking the European Parliament to call for a change in the German legislation to transpose the principle of tax-law neutrality, enshrined in the Value Added Tax Directive, into the national law on turnover tax.
