- Increased Regulatory Focus: Tax authorities in the EU are increasingly linking transfer pricing adjustments to VAT assessments, raising concerns for businesses about potential retrospective VAT liabilities due to non-compliance with VAT regulations.
- CJEU Case Law Insights: Recent cases, such as Arcomet Tower Crane (C-726/23) and Högkullen AB v. Skatteverket (C-808/23), illustrate the CJEU’s reluctance to clarify the relationship between VAT and transfer pricing, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation of each transaction’s circumstances.
