Comments on ECJ C-696/20: ECJ on the side of taxpayers settling chain transactions

Article 41 of the VAT Directive is an obstacle to the regulations of a Member State, when the intra-Community acquisition of goods, which is considered to be made in the territory of that Member State, results from the intra-Community supply of goods, stated the CJEU in its judgment of 7 July this year. The judgment is of great importance for chain transactions. Taxpayers incorrectly identifying transactions in the supply chain were punished by the Polish tax authorities with double taxation.
