- The BMF addresses a 2022 BFH ruling on VAT for company cars provided to employees for private use.
- No fundamental change to the previous administrative view is required, but some clarifying amendments will be made to the VAT Application Decree (UStAE).
- The BFH ruled that providing a company car for private use constitutes a barter-like taxable transaction if contractually agreed and actually used privately.
- The employee’s work is considered the remuneration for the car’s private use, which is a taxable supply.
