ECJ Rules Transfer Pricing Adjustments May Be Consideration for Taxable Supply of Services Under VAT

  • The ECJ ruled that transfer pricing adjustments can constitute consideration for a taxable supply of services if there is a reciprocal legal relationship and identifiable benefits.
  • In the Arcomet case, payments made under an intra-group agreement were found to be actual consideration for commercial services provided, thus subject to VAT.
  • The Court clarified that the variable or conditional nature of payments does not break the direct link required for VAT if the terms are contractually agreed and quantifiable.
  • Tax authorities may require necessary and proportionate evidence beyond invoices to assess the right to deduct input VAT.
  • Not all transfer pricing adjustments are automatically subject to VAT; it depends on the specific arrangement and whether reciprocal obligations and benefits exist.
