The European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered a preliminary ruling for Case No. C-156/20 on 13 January 2022, clarifying the VAT deduction regulations in the United Kingdom. A VAT-registered business cannot claim refund if the underlying transaction was incorrectly deemed to be exempt from VAT and as a result, invoices did not include a reference to the tax. It is important to note that input tax cannot be deducted unless the recipient of the supply has an invoice showing the VAT separately.
