Comments on ECJ C-289/22: A preliminary ruling regarding the Hungarian VAT deduction rules

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) released a preliminary ruling in Case No. C-289/22, addressing the Hungarian value-added tax (VAT) deduction rules.

The case in question concerned a company that utilized temporary employment agencies to hire subcontractors and workers, resulting in a chain of services. The tax authority found that these agencies were involved in a string of fraudulent activities, which raised concerns about the company’s compliance as well as its liability for any indirect involvement in fraudulent activities committed by the agencies.
