- The Court of Cassation addressed the VAT rules on personnel secondment prior to the new regulations introduced by DL 131/2024.
- VAT applies to service provision when there is a reciprocal link between the service provided and the amount received, even without profitability.
- It is up to the trial judge to determine if the payment by the seconding company is a condition for the personnel secondment and if the amounts paid are solely for the secondment.
- The Court of Cassation referenced the EU Court of Justice ruling from March 11, 2020, stating that a service is subject to VAT if payments and secondments are mutually conditional.
- The ordinance emphasizes that the agreed compensation amount is irrelevant, whether it is equal to, greater than, or less than the costs incurred by the service provider.
