VAT Treatment of Vehicle Assignments to Employees: Criteria and Legal Doctrine

  • The resolution is related to the VAT treatment of vehicle assignments from a business to its employees
  • The criteria for considering such assignments as services provided for consideration are based on EU Court of Justice rulings
  • The lack of evidence of consideration in the disputed tax assessment prevents its confirmation
  • The resolution reaffirms previous criteria and references a recent Supreme Court ruling confirming a lower court decision
  • The doctrine established is that a vehicle assignment to an employee for personal use without payment or reduction in salary is not subject to VAT, even if the VAT on the vehicle rental has been deducted
