VAT Liability of Transfer Companies in Corporate Restructuring: BFH Judgment of 20 November 2025

  • A provider authorized for employment promotion who takes over an independent organizational unit during company restructuring provides a service to the former employer, including additional compensation amounts.
  • This service is not exempt from VAT as a service closely linked to social welfare and social security under EU law.
  • The plaintiff’s appeal against the previous court decision was dismissed as unfounded, and the plaintiff must bear the costs.
  • The defendant withdrew their appeal, and thus must bear their own costs.
