Italy Preserves Yacht VAT and Customs Relief Despite Intervening Ownership Structure

  • The Italian Revenue Agency said an intermediary corporate structure does not block VAT and customs duty exemptions for moving a yacht to Italy.
  • Tax relief is allowed if the taxpayer had effective control and use of the yacht before relocation.
  • Using the yacht in non-EU waters does not jeopardize the exemption.
  • The ruling reflects the mobile nature of pleasure yachts under Directive 2009/132/EC.
