EGC Rules on VAT Triangular Transactions and Fraud in Intra-Community Supply Chains

  • The EGC issued a preliminary ruling on VAT rules for intra-Community acquisitions and supplies involving a Slovenian company, German suppliers, and Danish recipients.
  • Triangular transaction conditions can be met even if goods are delivered to the third operator’s customer, as long as the customer is VAT-registered in the same Member State as the reseller.
  • The operator’s knowledge of delivery arrangements does not affect VAT compliance requirements.
  • Authorities may deny simplification benefits and taxable amount reductions if the taxpayer knew or should have known they were involved in VAT fraud.
