- The Court of Cassation affirmed the validity of a principle related to issuing invoices for professional services rendered before the start of a bankruptcy procedure
- Professionals who submit claims in a bankruptcy procedure have a credit for professional services, including taxable amount and value-added tax, which are closely linked
- If the bankruptcy court approves partial payment for pre-bankruptcy professional services, the invoice issued by the professional should reflect the total amount received minus the related VAT
- If the amount paid by the bankruptcy court is less than the total professional credit, including VAT, the professional must proportionally reduce the taxable base and tax when issuing the invoice
