Czech Car Sales Company Retroactively Registered for VAT in Estonia

  • The Tallinn Circuit Court upheld the tax authority’s retroactive VAT registration of a Czech car sales company in Estonia.
  • The court found the company’s taxable turnover in Estonia exceeded the EUR 40,000 registration threshold.
  • It also agreed that the company had a fixed establishment in Estonia based on its real operations: staff and premises in Estonia, vehicle handovers there, Estonian customers, Estonian-language contracts, and use of an Estonian bank account.
  • The court ruled that having a fixed establishment is not necessarily a prerequisite for VAT registration, and reverse-charge treatment for customers does not remove the seller’s own obligation to register.
