The German Ministry of Finance (BMF) recently provided a draft of a BMF Circular entitled “VAT assessment of transactions in the fuel card business” to industry associations with a request for comments to be provided by 4 November 2021. The BMF Circular is intended to take effect as early as 01.01.2022. If it comes into force in the currently planned version, the BMF will overturn the customary structure of fuel card transactions and follow the ECJ in the Vega International case: fuel card transactions will generally be considered credit services. This results in an urgent need for action for all parties involved.
