Federal Fiscal Court: Correction of an Invoice – Retroactive Effect to the Detriment of the Recipient

The issue of invoice correction with retroactive effect for the purposes of input VAT deduction has been an ongoing issue in recent years. In a recent decision, the Federal Fiscal Court has prompted this discussion to head off in a new direction. On the one hand, the Federal Fiscal Court held that the cancellation and reissue of an invoice could also have a retroactive effect. On the other hand, a retroactive correction of the invoice could also be made to the detriment of the recipient. The latter might retroactively lose his right to deduct input VAT.
