- The Italian Tax Agency examined a chain transaction involving goods shipped from Poland to Italy via a German intermediary.
- It confirmed that the “chain transaction” rules under Article 36-bis of EU VAT Directive / Article 41-ter DL 331/93 apply.
- Because the intermediary arranged the transport and gave the Polish supplier a German VAT number, the transport is allocated to the supply made to the intermediary.
- This means the intermediary makes the intra-EU purchase, rather than the Italian final buyer.
