    The Supreme Tax Court had asked the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling on the question of a direct refund claim in the case of incorrectly invoiced and paid German VAT in the event of the supplier's insolvency. In its judgment, the ECJ is of the opinion that the recipient of the service cannot claim a refund of the VAT paid to the supplier directly from the tax authorities of his Member State.
