Question referred
Does Article 10 of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), preclude an interpretation of national statutory provisions and an administrative practice which consist in fixing the starting point for an action for recovery of VAT, and therefore the date from which the limitation period for that action is to be calculated, as the date on which the VAT return is lodged in which the taxable person claims a right to deduct?
