The Federal Fiscal Court has implemented the ECJ judgment in the case Mitteldeutsche Hartstein-Industrie AG (C-528/19) and made two crucial statements: an indirect link is sufficient for the deduction of input VAT and a supply carried out free of charge is not taxable if there is no threat of an untaxed final consumption. This clear Federal Fiscal Court decision is pleasing. After 10 years, the tax authority has been compelled (once again) to change its mind. This time in favour of taxable persons.
