Following up on a preliminary request from the Hamburg Tax Court the European Court of Justice (ECJ) had to decide on the place of importation for VAT purposes of a transportation vehicle purchased in Georgia which was brought into the EU in breach of customs legislation. The ECJ held the place of importation to be Germany, that is where the owner of the car resides and where the car is ultimately in use.
ECJ, decision of 8 September 2022 (case: C‑368/21, Hauptzollamt Hamburg).
