- The German Federal Ministry of Finance will still have to implement some of the decisions in the Administrative VAT Guidelines (e.g. on the scope of the VAT group and the participation of partnerships as controlled companies).
- Another issue to be addressed is taking away the uncertainty for businesses and the tax authorities as to whether a VAT group exists or not.
- In this respect, the hope remains that the legislator will address this issue (again).
- A “VAT group on application” would resolve these legal uncertainties.
