- The Federal Association for Electromobility in Austria (BEÖ) and other tariff providers are seeking guidance from the BMF on the tax requirements for charging e-vehicles abroad.
- The BMF states that according to the VAT Guidelines 2000, the charging of an electric vehicle is considered a supply of electricity, and the place of delivery is determined based on the location of the charging terminal.
- This assessment is consistent with guidelines from the 113th meeting of the VAT Committee.
- The current Union law requirements mean that these transactions are generally not covered by the transfer of tax liability in inter-entrepreneurial sectors, and in B2C cases, a declaration and payment of VAT using a special regulation (“EU One Stop Shop”) is required.
- However, the European Commission has proposed a directive to address these practical problems and reduce administrative costs.
