33The deduction system is intended to relieve the operator entirely of the burden of the VAT due or paid in the course of all of his economic activities. The common system of VAT therefore ensures that all economic activities, whatever their purpose or results, provided that they are in principle themselves subject to VAT, are taxed in a neutral way (judgment of 15 September 2016, Senatex, C‑518/14, EU:C:2016:691, paragraph 27 and the case-law cited).
