25Operating expenses directly connected to the income received in the Member State in which the activity is pursued must be understood as being expenses which have a direct economic connection to the provision of services which gave rise to taxation in that State and which are therefore inextricably linked to those services, such as travel and accommodation costs. In that context, the place and time at which the costs were incurred are immaterial.
