- The EU Court of Justice clarified that VAT refunds in cross-border transactions depend on whether the transfer of molds is considered an intra-community supply.
- If the mold transfer is part of a single, inseparable economic operation with the supply of goods produced using the mold, it is treated as an intra-community supply and is not subject to VAT.
- A physical transfer of the mold to another EU member state is required for the transaction to qualify as an intra-community supply and benefit from VAT exemption.
- Without such physical transfer, the transaction cannot be considered an intra-community supply, and VAT refund rules differ.
