The ‘M-GmbH’ ruling of the European Court of Justice (‘ECJ’), issued on 15 April 2021, paves the way for a broader application of the VAT group than most EU countries currently apply. In line with previous rulings, the ECJ considers that the VAT group is not limited to VAT taxable persons or legal persons only. The ECJ rules that the links required to becoming (part of) a VAT group are EU definitions that should be interpreted by EU countries in the same way.
