Input Tax Deduction: Invoice Requirements When Supplier Changes Name During Renaming Process

• The Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) allowed an appeal to clarify whether input VAT deduction can be denied solely because the supplier, during a renaming process, issued an invoice with their new (future) name instead of the valid name at the time of service and invoicing.
• The decision follows a previous ruling by the Berlin-Brandenburg Fiscal Court.
• The appeal was admitted without further reasoning or presentation of the facts.
