Key legal question
Whether the brokerage company entered subjective VAT liability through a sustainable commercial/professional activity
Extracted holding
Yes. The brokerage activity, viewed as a whole, showed sufficient sustainability and market participation to qualify as a commercial or professional activity.
Extracted reasoning
The company concluded brokerage agreements, actively mediated a transaction, used its own organizational and professional resources, earned a significant fee, and displayed a market-facing activity. A single transaction can still suffice when the overall circumstances indicate a durable business-like activity.
