On 17 October 2024, The European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered its verdict in the Digital Charging Solutions (C-60/23) case. This case focuses on the VAT implications for e-Mobility Service Providers (“eMSPs”). The ECJ concludes that eMSPs buy and sell electricity, and leans towards qualifying the contract as a commissionaire contract. This case is relevant for the EV charging industry and provides new insights for the fuel card business.
