- On 29 February 2024, the European Court of Justice ruled in the case B2 Energy (C-676/22).
- The case involved a Czech company transporting rapeseed oil to another EU member state without providing clear proof of the recipient.
- The Czech tax authorities denied VAT exemption, but the ECJ stated that if the buyer’s identity is not certain, the exemption conditions can still be met if the buyer is a VAT taxable person.
- However, the outcome could have been different after the introduction of the VAT quick fixes on 1st January 2020, which added additional conditions for the buyer.
