VATupdate Newsletter Week 50 2023

Indirect

What makes VAT so much fun? I think that this lays in the fact that it’s something that applies to every transaction. It happens all around you and we recognize the topics and cases in our day-to-day work and activities.

Most of the fun comes from case-law. This is because the cases come from ‘the real world’. They are from situations that can occur everywhere, and they therefore appeal to the imagination.

For example, the Dixons-case, where someone paid for goods with a fake credit card. That can happen to any seller. The question was if the seller could ask for a refund of VAT, because a false credit card was used. The ECJ decided that this was not possible, because the seller still received the payment from the credit card company. From a VAT point of view that makes sense, even though, in practice, using a false credit card is experienced the same as theft (as the seller also declared).

Some topics are just funny in themselves, touching subjects that make people giggle and are interesting to tell at birthday parties. Such as the Fenix-case, where insight is given in the operations of the OnlyFans website. Even though OnlyFans has an average of 420 million monthly users, nobody has ever been there or know what the website is about. And thus, it’s great to learn more about it in an ECJ-case.

VATupdate.com does not have 420 million users (yet). Perhaps if we just keep publishing all the VAT news from around the world, every day, we may get there. Or not. In any case, we are happy to make this website for you. If you like the website and us, leave a message on our LinkedIn page.
