- The European Union has discussed new VAT rules for fuel cards.
- Member States have agreed that in many cases, the issuer of a fuel card provides a financial service rather than supplying fuel.
- However, if certain conditions are met, the card issuer will be considered to purchase and sell the fuel itself.
- These conditions include taking ownership of the fuel, bearing the financial risk, setting prices, and having an agreement with the fuel supplier.
- The new guidelines do not apply to past transactions.
- The Belgian administration is expected to adopt and comment on these views in a future circular.
