- The CJEU interpreted Article 26 of the Sixth VAT Directive for a German company organizing “coffee trips” to promote its own goods.
- The case concerns whether these excursions fall under the travel-agency margin scheme, where VAT is due only on the margin and input VAT is not deducted separately.
- A key issue is whether a negative margin can lead to a VAT refund under that special scheme.
- The court’s ruling addresses how the special VAT rules for travel-related services apply when a merchant, rather than a traditional travel agency, organizes the excursion.
