Does the legal validity of an invoice have an impact on the right to deduct VAT?

In principle, the right to deduct VAT can only be exercised if an invoice is VAT compliant. Previously, this formal condition applied in the same way as the substantive condition that the goods and services delivered must be used to carry out transactions giving rise to the right of deduction.

Constrained by European case law, the VAT administration has adopted a more lenient position, admitting that an irregular invoice no longer necessarily leads to the rejection of the right to deduct VAT.
