- The Council of the European Union is considering authorizing Austria to continue excluding the right to deduct input VAT on business goods and services used for private purposes.
- This exemption allows Austria to treat certain expenses as non-deductible for VAT purposes.
- The decision to authorize this exemption is based on the understanding that it does not distort competition or have a negative impact on the functioning of the internal market.
- Austria has requested this authorization to continue the exemption, which has been in place since 1995.
- The Council will review the request and make a decision on whether to grant the authorization.
