In its judgment in the legal case Morgan Stanley (C-165/17), the ECJ commented on the calculation of the deductible proportion from general costs. The decision is interesting for reasons beyond the financial services sector, as the ECJ makes generally applicable statements. It concerns the deductible proportion of an establishment rendering taxable output transactions in a Member State; this establishment also uses input supplies for internal supplies to its principal establishment located in another Member State. The principal establishment itself renders taxed and VAT-exempt output transactions.
