38Pursuant to Article 17(1) of the Sixth Directive, which is entitled ‘Origin and scope of the right to deduct’, the right to deduct VAT arises at the time when the deductible tax becomes chargeable. Consequently, only the capacity in which a person is acting at that time can determine the existence of the right to deduct (Lennartz, paragraph 8).
