- The Baden-Württemberg Fiscal Court held that a KG cannot deduct input VAT on tax advisory costs related to the gift transfer of limited partnership interests by its partners.
- The court found that these advisory costs were not incurred for the KG’s business, but in connection with the private transfer of shares.
- Simply paying the advisory fees by the company does not create an untaxed supply of goods/services to the partners, because money is not a “goods/item” under the VAT rules.
- The court allowed an appeal to the German Federal Fiscal Court (BFH).
