- The Italian Supreme Court ruled that preventive seizure of a group’s shares removes the control required for group VAT liquidation, so the regime no longer applies.
- For consolidated VAT purposes, only shares with voting rights count toward control; seized shares cannot be counted because voting rights pass to the court-appointed custodian.
- Even if formal ownership remains unchanged, the seizure causes a real loss of shareholder control and participation rights.
- The Court also held that, if the tax authority rejects intra-group VAT offsets for lack of control, using the automated assessment procedure is valid when an irregularity notice was sent first.
