Question juridique clé
Whether lecturer/lecture fees earned by B.________ must be attributed to X.________ AG for VAT purposes
Solution extraite
The fees are attributable to X.________ AG because it appeared in its own name, invoiced the services itself, and did not prove direct representation of B.________.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 10 MWSTV only explicit acting in the name and for the account of the represented person creates a direct supply. A company that outwardly presents itself as supplier must bear the VAT consequences; a mere collection arrangement was not established.
