- The Regional Administrative Court in Wroclaw issued a judgement on 19 September 2023 regarding a case of VAT fraud.
- A company received two orders for the supply of goods, but after the payment deadline for the first invoice expired, the amount due was not paid.
- It was discovered that a fraudster was posing as the company’s client.
- The company wanted to know if a VAT-taxable delivery of goods occurred in this situation.
- The court ruled that the delivery of goods to a place where they were stolen as a result of fraud is not subject to VAT.
- This is because the transfer of right of owner-like possession did not take place.
- Since the goods were delivered as a result of fraud and were seized by an unidentified entity, no ITC (Input Tax Credit) took place.
