The Arcomet case (C-726/23) decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union addresses VAT issues related to transfer pricing within corporate groups.

Additionally, tax authorities can require documentation beyond invoices to substantiate VAT deductions, provided it is necessary and reasonable.
