Kretztechnik’s objects were the development and sale of electro-medical appliances. Sales of its products were subject to VAT with the result that it was entitled to deduct input tax on supplies of goods or services acquired by it for the purpose of making those sales. In order to increase its share capital, it obtained a listing on the Frankfurt stock exchange. To do so it had to purchase certain services. VAT was charged on the cost of those services. Kretztechnik wished to deduct that tax (input VAT).
Held: Though a new issue was not itself a taxable transaction, VAT which had been paid on the professional and other costs of the issue could be set off as VAT inputs under article 17.
