CJEU, ruling of 25 May 2023 – case C-114/22 – W
According to the CJEU, a taxable person cannot be denied the right to deduct input tax solely because a taxable economic transaction is classified as a fictitious
transaction in application of the provisions of national civil law and is void, without it being necessary for the tax authorities to show that the conditions for classifying this transaction as a fictitious transaction in accordance with EU law are met or that, if this transaction was actually carried out, it is based on VAT evasion or abuse of rights.
