Under what conditions is a holding company entitled to deduct input VAT? This is a recurring question. Last week, the Federal Fiscal Court published a decision in which an (interim) holding company passed on the costs of input services to its subsidiaries without a profit mark-up. In principle, this constitutes an entrepreneurial activity and thus entitles the holding company to deduct input VAT. However, caution is required to ensure that the holding company does not merely make (non-taxable) shareholder contributions to its subsidiaries.
