The Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) ruled that inter-company transfer pricing payments based on the transactional net margin method, as outlined in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, are subject to value added tax (VAT). The case involved a subsidiary in the crane rental sector and its parent company, where profit margins were adjusted annually through invoicing. The ECJ determined that such payments constitute a supply of services subject to VAT, requiring a legal relationship with reciprocal performance and remuneration as actual consideration for an identifiable service.
