- Late invoice delivery does not automatically shift the VAT deduction period if the taxpayer has the invoice before filing the tax return.
- The EU General Court ruled that VAT deduction can be claimed for the period when the taxable supply arose, even if the invoice is received later but before the tax return deadline.
- Polish and Czech domestic laws require having the invoice to claim VAT deduction, potentially conflicting with EU law.
- EU law treats the invoice as a formal requirement, not a reason to defer deduction if the taxpayer has it before filing the return.
- The judgment highlights differences between national and EU VAT rules, prompting possible legislative changes in countries like the Czech Republic to align with EU law.
