- The case concerns whether missing “reverse charge” references in invoices for intra-Community triangular transactions can be corrected retroactively.
- The Austrian tax office denied input tax deduction due to missing references and VAT identification issues, despite later invoice corrections.
- The Federal Finance Court ruled that invoice corrections only have effect from the date of correction (ex nunc), not retroactively.
- The Administrative Court referred questions to the ECJ about whether late invoice corrections can trigger the simplification rule and under what conditions.
- The outcome will clarify if and how invoice deficiencies in triangular transactions can be remedied and recognized for VAT purposes.
