- Fernando Matesanz of Spanish VAT Services reports on a pronouncement by an EU member state on the impact that transfer pricing adjustments have on the VAT applied to transactions.
- The implications of adjustments made due to transfer pricing policies for VAT have traditionally been controversial.
- The interaction of some adjustments for transfer pricing and VAT is a fact because they involve the modification of the taxable amount of a previous transaction, mainly referring to voluntary compensating adjustments.
- Voluntary adjustments can be assigned to specific transactions and affect the taxable base, while other adjustments that do not affect the consideration should not have an impact on VAT.
