Tax Exemption Scope for Aviation: Precedent on VAT, Input Tax Deduction, and Direct Claim

  • The FG Munich recently had to deal with the scope of the tax exemption provision for aviation in §§ 4 No. 2, 8 para. 2 UStG
  • Certain sales in aviation may be exempt from VAT under certain conditions
  • The FG Munich also addressed issues related to input tax deduction and a possible direct claim for incorrectly stated VAT
  • The ruling is convincing in terms of legal interpretation but may be unfavorable for aviation companies in practice
