On April 18, 2024, the CJEU rendered judgment in case C-68/23 (M-GbR vs Finanzamt O) concerning the VAT treatment of vouchers under the EU VAT rules since 2019. This judgment clarifies the classification of single-purpose vouchers and the VAT consequences of the resale of multi-purpose vouchers. However, there is room for interpretation, leading to potential differences in application between Member States. It is recommended that parties involved in the issue, resale, or redemption of vouchers review the VAT treatment based on this ruling. The case involves a German reseller of X-cards issued by a UK company for purchasing digital content, with country-locking to Germany.
