Looking back @2021 #18: VAT Grouping, a tool to avoid VAT leakage, optimize VAT receivables and simplify processes

Article in the EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC

Article 11 of the EU VAT Directive gives the EU Member States the option to implement a VAT group.

Article 11
After consulting the advisory committee on value added tax (hereafter, the “VAT Committee”), each Member State may regard as a single taxable person any persons established in the territory of that Member State who, while legally independent, are closely bound to one another by financial, economic and organisational links. A Member State exercising the option provided for in the first paragraph, may adopt any measures needed to prevent tax evasion or avoidance through the use of this provision.
