Transfer of Goods Between Spouses With Separate Businesses: When Is VAT Due?

    Transferring goods (e.g., machines) between spouses who each run their own businesses can be subject to VAT, even if the transfer is free of charge. The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that marital joint property does not matter in this case; what matters is that both spouses are separate VAT taxpayers. In the specific case, a wife closed her business and transferred machines to her husband’s business. The tax office and the court found this to be a taxable supply under VAT law, since she had previously deducted input VAT on the machines.
