Can input VAT deduction be achieved by means of a so-called upstream holding company? This question was referred to the ECJ by the XI. Senate of the Federal Fiscal Court with its decision of 23 September 2020 (XI R 22/18). The Federal Fiscal Court would answer in the negative as it recognises a link to the VAT exempt activities of the subsidiary. Further, it referred the question to the ECJ of whether an abusive structure is involved in such instances.
