Italy Issues Clarification on VAT Treatment of Transfer Pricing Adjustments

  • The Italian tax authorities, in Ruling No. 214 (August 2025), confirmed that transfer pricing adjustments under the TNMM may trigger VAT when directly linked to specific supplies, aligning with EU-level interpretations and CJEU guidance.

  • Supporting documentation, including affected invoices and detailed adjustment breakdowns, was crucial in establishing VAT relevance, as the adjustments were treated as direct revisions of transaction values rather than broad year-end settlements.

  • Multinational groups should proactively review contracts, document links between adjustments and supplies, align invoicing/accounting with VAT rules, and seek rulings where needed, as EU tax authorities intensify scrutiny of intercompany transfer pricing adjustments.
