On 4 September 2025, the ECJ ruled on a case involving VAT and transfer pricing adjustments, which could impact intra-group TP corrections. The case involved Arcomet Romania and Arcomet Belgium, where VAT was initially applied to intra-group services but later challenged. The ECJ determined that transfer pricing adjustments can fall within the scope of VAT if there is a legal relationship and direct link between services and consideration.
However, not all transfer pricing adjustments automatically fall under VAT; it depends on the contractual agreements and evidence of service use.
