EU Commission Confirms Cassation Court Rulings on VAT Deductibility for SPV in MLBO Transactions

• The EU Commission confirmed principles from recent Supreme Court rulings.
• For VAT deductibility on purchases by special purpose vehicles for MLBO operations, Supreme Court rulings are sufficient.
• This is despite the differing view of the Revenue Agency.
• The European Commission responded to a request for infringement proceedings by AIDC.
• The request was due to the Revenue Agency’s non-compliance with these principles.
• Full reliance on Supreme Court rulings 22608/2024 and 22649/2024 is advised.
• These rulings state that VAT on purchases is generally deductible.
