A new edition of the European Commission's Compendium of customs valuation has been published. The main purpose of the Compendium is to provide support to the customs administrations of the Member States to ensure the uniform and correct application of the principles and general provisions of customs valuation. On the other hand, business obligation is a correct declaration of the customs value of goods, so this document also benefits the business community. Let's take a brief look at how the need for such a document has evolved and what is presented in the new edition of it.

Transport services VAT exempt because already in import tax base? You will need to prove it!
24-09-2023

The Romanian company provides transportation services. It transported goods from the port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands) to Cluj-Napoca (Romania) under transit procedure. Goods were released into free circulation in Romania. It treated transportation service as VAT exempt because it assumed that transportation cost was included into the import VAT taxable base. Tax authorities claimed otherwise: the taxpayer failed to provide documents confirming that the transportation cost was included into the import VAT taxable base. Consequently, they denied the exemption. The dispute between the company and the tax authorities reached as far as the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), which recently issued clarifications on the application of the provisions of the VAT Directive in this case.
