The ECJ issued a preliminary ruling (Case No. C-537/22) regarding Hungarian VAT deduction rules. The case involved a Hungarian wholesale business acquiring office supplies from a domestic company, with the Tax Authorities alleging fraudulent transactions. The Tax Agency refused the VAT deduction, citing VAT fraud. The ruling clarified that the Tax Authority can deny VAT deduction if there is a lack of diligence, must prove elements of VAT fraud, and taxpayers must exercise due care to avoid indirect participation in VAT fraud.
