- The BMF has changed its position: Input VAT deduction for goods/services acquired before switching from small business to standard VAT taxation, but used for taxable sales after the switch, is now generally no longer allowed in open cases. The previous rule only applies if claimed in a VAT return submitted by 10.11.2025. However, VAT adjustment under § 15a UStG may be possible if conditions are met.
