Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the effective annual interest rate in the leasing contract had to include VAT on the monthly leasing instalments under the KKG.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Because the lease payments were actually VAT-bearing in this case, the instalments had to be used including VAT when calculating the effective annual interest rate.
Motivazione estratta
The car sale price was margin-taxed and would not itself have borne VAT, but the leasing payments were subject to VAT as consideration for the use of the vehicle. The statutory exclusion in Art. 34(2)(b) KKG did not justify omitting that VAT here.
