In its ruling of 11 March (C-812/19), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) decided that services rendered by the Danish head office of the Danske Bank to its Swedish branch attract VAT. This was based on the fact that the Danish head office had joined a Danish VAT group.

This article discusses this ruling and its impact in practice.
