VAT Deduction for Low-Value Gifts: 1% Turnover Condition Deemed Unlawful by Council of State

  • The tax authority denied a VAT deduction of €200,049.76 for purchases of promotional items, citing limits set by ministerial decision Π7015/690/1986 for small-value gifts.
  • The company appealed to administrative courts and was vindicated at both the Administrative Court of First Instance and the Administrative Court of Appeal.
  • The courts ruled that the 1% turnover condition for deducting input VAT on small gifts (under ten euros) is not lawful.
