(Opinion) The court considered the application of rounding procedures to VAT. Two issues arose: whether rounding was to be applied on a per item or per receipt basis and whether the matter was governed by national or Uuropean laws.
Held: There were no express rules governing this in European legislation, and therefore the matter was one for national governments. However a national rule which allowed rounding down on a per item basis was inconsistent with European law.
