- In Case T-614/25, the European General Court addressed whether intra-Community VAT exemption applies to chain transactions involving petroleum products shipped under excise duty suspension arrangements.
- The Court held that excise duty suspension alone does not automatically entitle the supplier to the intra-Community VAT exemption.
- The exemption also does not arise automatically merely because VAT is due from the customer in another EU country under a triangular transaction.
- Parties must still satisfy all other legal conditions for the VAT exemption to apply.
- The ruling confirms that meeting one requirement is not enough, by itself, to secure the intra-Community VAT exemption.
