Operative part of the order

Article 33 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that, as regards goods sold through a website by a supplier established in a Member State to buyers located in another Member State, when, for the purposes of delivering those goods, those buyers, in accordance with the dispatching options offered by the supplier, choose a company suggested by that website with which they conclude a contract separate from the one which bounds them to that supplier for the purchase of those goods, the latter must be regarded as transported ‘by or on behalf of the supplier’, within the meaning of Article 33, where the role of that supplier is predominant in terms of initiating and organising the essential stages of the transport of those goods, which it is for the referring court to ascertain, taking account of all the relevant circumstances of the dispute in the main proceedings.
