    VAT: Referrals to European Court of Justice on imputed taxat ...

    Supreme Tax Court judges have expressed doubt both upon the previously uncontested obligation of entrepreneurs subject to the so-called imputed taxation (“Sollbesteuerung) to pre-finance VAT and upon the exclusion of the reduced VAT rate on the provision of holiday apartment rentals according to the so-called margin-scheme taxation. The Supreme Tax Court has therefore referred two cases to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) (i) referral of 21 June 2017: V R 51/16; and (ii) referral of 3 August 2017: V R 60/16.

    VAT rate for provision of food and beverage services in a sh ...

    When using a food-court in a shopping mall the services of a fast-food provider may not be a delivery of food (for which the reduced VAT rate is applicable) but rather a service subject to the standard VAT rate if - as the Supreme Tax Court points out in a most current decision - it is evident from the perspective of an average consumer that the provider of the food has a facility at his disposal on the nearby premises. This, e.g., may be the case if a tray is provided for transporting the purchased food to a consumption facility located in the food-court.

    Following a preliminary request from the Münster Tax Court the ECJ ruled that the recipient of supplies of goods has a direct claim towards the tax authorities for reimbursement of improperly invoiced VAT he paid to the suppliers and which has been duly transferred by the latter to the treasury, even if the recipient can no longer turn directly to his suppliers for reimbursement due to the statute of limitation as provided for by national law.

    ECJ: Subscription bonus to new subscribers – gifts of small ...

    In a referral from Portugal the ECJ was asked on the VAT situation in case of the supply of a subscription gift of small value in the form of tablets or smartphones to new subscribers of consumer protection magazines. In its opinion, the ECJ saw the circumstances of the case to suggest that the provision of a subscription bonus is an ancillary service connected with a main service because the bonus was only granted to increase the number of subscribers to the magazines and thus contributed to improve the profit situation of the plaintiff.
