- The Italian Revenue Agency examined a corporate reorganization involving a subsidiary under the group VAT regime.
- In 2024, the subsidiary underwent a partial proportional demerger, transferring part of its assets to a newly established beneficiary.
- Before the reorganization, the parent company controlled 80 percent of the demerged company, and post-reorganization, it controlled both the demerged and the new beneficiary at the same percentage.
- The parent company inquired about including the new beneficiary in the consolidated VAT liquidation starting in 2025, bypassing the requirement of control from July 1 of the previous year.
- The Agency confirmed the inclusion of the new beneficiary from 2025, as there was no interruption in control, and the group VAT perimeter remained unchanged.
- The new beneficiary continued the commercial activity of the demerged company and was controlled by the parent company at over 50 percent.
