Key legal question
Whether the prostitutes’ erotic services were attributable for VAT purposes to the salon operators as part of a single business unit
Extracted holding
Yes. On the external appearance and operational organization, the services formed an integrated branch of the operators’ business and the turnover was attributable to them.
Extracted reasoning
The operators advertised in their own name, controlled access, set prices, organized parties, and the women did not appear outwardly as independent entrepreneurs; the business model matched prior case law on erotic studios.
