- The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on VAT taxation for transfer price adjustments between related entities in case C-726/23.
- The case involved Arcomet, a Romanian company, and its Belgian parent company, concerning support services and transfer pricing adjustments.
- Romanian tax authorities disputed VAT deductions on these adjustments, claiming they were unrelated to taxable activities.
- The Romanian company appealed, and the ECJ ruled that intra-group services linked to the subsidiary’s operating margin are taxable and subject to VAT.
- Transfer pricing adjustments should also be treated as taxable supplies subject to VAT.
- Tax authorities can request additional evidence to confirm services and their use for taxable transactions.
- Authorities cannot assess the economic usefulness of services for VAT deduction purposes.
