Question juridique clé
Whether podiatry treatments without a medical prescription are exempt from VAT under Art. 14 no. 3 OTVA
Solution extraite
No. The exemption applies only to treatments prescribed by a medical order; other podiatry services remain taxable.
Motifs extraits
The Court reaffirmed its prior case law and held that the wording, structure and purpose of Art. 14 no. 3 OTVA justify using the medical-prescription requirement as a clear formal criterion that preserves equal treatment and prevents an overly broad exemption.
