The ECJ ruled on Hungarian VAT deduction rules in Case No. C-537/22, involving a wholesale business in Hungary. The Tax Authorities denied VAT deduction on office supplies invoices, suspecting fraudulent transactions. The ECJ clarified that Tax Authorities can reject VAT deduction if diligence is lacking, they must prove VAT fraud, and taxpayers must exercise due care to avoid indirect involvement in VAT fraud when claiming deductions.
