Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the turnover of two sole proprietorships owned by the same natural person must be aggregated for VAT purposes.
Decisione estratta
Yes. A natural person operating several sole proprietorships is one taxable person; the businesses themselves are not separate VAT subjects.
Motivazione estratta
VAT liability attaches to the legal subject, not to the activity. Registration of a sole proprietorship in the commercial register does not create legal personality. Therefore all turnover from the person's sole proprietorships must be combined, even if the activities, accounts, locations, or trade names differ.
