VAT Deduction Rightly Denied for Crypto Platform’s Non-EU Transactions, Court Rules

• A company offered cryptocurrency exchange services via a platform, charging fees and conducting transactions with a US-based crypto exchange.
• The company deducted VAT related to transactions with customers outside the EU.
• The tax inspector denied the VAT deduction, and the court upheld this decision.
• The court reasoned that the company only received services from the US exchange and did not provide services to customers outside the EU; only EU customers used the platform.
• The VAT assessments were correctly imposed.
