The ECJ (case C-324/20) has ruled that, in the case of an instalment payment extending over five years, the respective VAT is chargeable at the time the supply of service is rendered. This decision differs from that made by the ECJ in the case of a player’s agent who was paid over three years for a supply of agency business services to a football club. However, the ECJ did not specify clear criteria for demarcation in this respect. In practice, it is recommended that full VAT be claimed from taxable persons entitled to input VAT deduction at the very outset of an instalment payment agreement.
