- The Italian Revenue Agency clarified that VAT deduction is allowed during company liquidation if expenses are strictly related to the liquidation process.
- This applies even if the company previously carried out VAT-exempt activities.
- The principle is based on the neutrality of VAT as per EU Directive 2006/112/CE.
- Legal and professional fees incurred for tax disputes and credit recovery during liquidation can be eligible for VAT deduction.
- The liquidation phase is considered distinct from the previous VAT-exempt business activity.
