- Advocate General Juliane Kokott issued an Opinion in case C-603/24, Stellantis Portugal, addressing the VAT treatment of transfer pricing adjustments for corporate income tax purposes.
- The case involves whether adjustments to vehicle sale prices within the General Motors Group, documented by credit or debit notes, constitute a “supply of services for consideration” under the VAT Directive.
- Kokott opined that mere price adjustments do not generally qualify as a supply of services for VAT purposes.
- The VAT relevance of profit adjustments depends on their nature and method; only separate, genuine supplies of services for consideration are taxable for VAT.
- The Opinion provides interpretative guidance on the complex interaction between transfer pricing and VAT rules in the EU.
