Final VAT Ruling on Fiscal Unity by BFH Affirms Non-Taxability of Internal Transactions

• The BFH has made a final decision on VAT group taxation after consulting the EuGH twice
• The BFH agrees with the EuGH and confirms that internal transactions within a VAT group are not subject to VAT
• This means services provided by a subsidiary to the parent company and vice versa are not taxable
• Additionally, a chargeable service from a subsidiary to the parent company for its sovereign activities does not result in a withdrawal under § 3 Abs. 9a Nr. 2 UStG
