The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has provided clarification on how Value Added Tax (VAT) applies to the expropriation of land. The ruling states that when a property is expropriated by a public authority, the transaction is not subject to VAT as it does not constitute a supply of goods or services. This decision will impact how VAT is applied in cases of land expropriation in European Union countries.
