The transport of export goods is, under certain conditions, exempt from VAT (sec. 4 no. 3 lit. a lit. aa of the German VAT Act). However, as from 1 January 2022, the Federal Ministry of Finance will considerably restrict the present scope of the VAT exemption. While all transport services in connection with exports were previously VAT exempt, this will now only apply to transport services rendered directly to the supplier of the goods or to the customer receiving the goods.
