- Advocate-General Kokott issued an opinion on the VAT treatment of loyalty programs in the Lyko case.
- The opinion suggests that loyalty points should be considered discounts rather than vouchers.
- Lyko’s loyalty program allows customers to earn points for purchases, which can be redeemed for goods in a points shop.
- The Swedish tax authorities argued that the points are not vouchers, as they do not have a transferable value.
- The CJEU was asked to clarify whether the points qualify as vouchers and the taxable amount if they do.
