EU Court: VAT Deduction Pro Rata Excluded if Equipment Used Only for Exempt Activities

  • The European Court of Justice clarified VAT deduction rules for goods and services used by entities performing both exempt and taxable activities.
  • VAT on equipment required by law is not deductible unless the equipment is actually used for taxable activities.
  • The existence of a legal obligation to acquire equipment does not automatically establish the direct and immediate link needed for VAT deduction.
  • Deductibility depends on the actual use of the goods in taxable operations, not just their general necessity.
  • Each case requires a functional and concrete assessment of how goods and services are used in relation to taxable activities.
