Judgment of the Court of Justice in the case K.
The first subparagraph of Article 98(2) of and point 6 of Annex III to Council Directive 2006/112/EC, must be interpreted as not precluding, provided that the principle of fiscal neutrality inherent in the common system of value added tax is complied with, which is for the referring court to ascertain, national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, under which books published in paper form are subject to a reduced rate of value added tax and books published on other physical supports such as CDs, CD-ROMs or USB keys are subject to the standard VAT rate.
