NSA: No VAT Invoice Correction Needed After Recipient Change

• The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that changing the final recipient of prepaid energy does not require correcting the VAT invoice.
• The original invoice was valid because it reflected a real transaction and the prepayment at the time it was issued.
• No correction is needed under Article 106j(1) of the VAT Act, since there was no refund, return, price change, or invoice error.
• The original transaction remained in force, while the assignment between later buyers was a separate transaction.
• VAT is assessed based on the facts at the time of invoice issuance, so later changes on the buyer’s side do not affect the original settlement.
