- VAT Deduction Affirmed: The European Court of Justice ruled on December 12, 2024, that tax authorities cannot refuse VAT deductions for services acquired by a company within a group, provided those services were used for the company’s own taxable transactions.
- Documentation Requirements: Companies are advised to maintain detailed documentation that clearly establishes the connection between the services received and their taxable activities, ensuring compliance with VAT neutrality principles.
- Tax Authority Limitations: The ruling emphasizes that tax authorities must objectively assess the necessity of services for VAT deductions, without imposing subjective criteria or assumptions regarding the allocation of costs among group entities.
