Importer’s Liability for VAT Despite Bankruptcy: A Case Study

  • The Inspector states that the bankruptcy does not affect the utb’s and that X is the debtor for the VAT on import according to the OB Act 1968.
  • Article 201 of the VAT Directive states that Member States can designate who is liable for VAT on import.
  • Dutch legislation designates the declarant as the debtor.
  • X filed the declaration in his own name and is therefore correctly designated as the debtor.
