   No input VAT deduction if original invoice is amended to add ...

   According to the Supreme Tax Court, there is no retroactive right for input VAT deduction for a German company receiving services from other group companies who initially issued the invoices without VAT but later went to correct it. The correction of the invoice with retroactive effect requires that the original invoice already contains a VAT amount, which was not the case in the dispute before the court.

   VAT exemption for supervision services

   Art. 132 (1) (j) VAT Directive also covers teaching units that relate to training, advanced training, or job requalification measures as a VAT exempt service. The narrow standards and requirements set by the ECJ for the tax exemption of school and university teaching in Article 132(1) (i) do not apply here. Accordingly, the Supreme Tax Court held that services provided by a supervisor may be exempt from VAT under Article 132 (1) (j) VAT Directive.

    Municipality as a business for VAT

    In a recent decision the Supreme Tax Court dealt with the provision of services by public bodies under German VAT law. If the economic activities of a public body are not outstanding and distinct from its overall activities it is not a taxable business for VAT and thus not eligible to deduct input VAT incurred on the underlying costs.

    In a most recent ruling, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) held that, for situations where the output VAT is calculated at the time the remuneration is received rather when the service was completed, the German VAT provision that the right to deduct input VAT must be exercised upon completion of the supply or service is not in line with current EU law, in particular Articles 167 and 66 (1) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC.
