35As the Court has stated, in the context of a provision enabling Member States to exclude capital goods from the system of VAT deductions for a transitional period, the definition of ‘capital goods’ covers goods used for the purposes of some business activity and distinguishable by their durable nature and their value and such that the acquisition costs are not normally treated as current expenditure but are written off over several years (see, to that effect, Case 51/76 Verbond van Nederlandse Ondernemingen [1977] ECR 113, paragraph 12, and Case C-98/07 Nordania Finans and BG Factoring [2008] ECR I-1281, paragraphs 27 and 28).
