Payment of fees to organisations collectively managing copyright and related rights

Judgment of the Court in case C‑37/16, 18 January 2017

 

The VAT Directive must be interpreted as meaning that holders of reproduction rights do not make a supply of services, within the meaning of that directive, to producers and importers of blank media and of recording and reproduction devices on whom organisations collectively managing copyright and related rights levy on behalf of those rightholders, but in their own name, fees in respect of the sale of those devices and media.
