On the meaning of the term ‘construction work’ and on VAT harmonisation in the EU 关于“建筑工程”一词的含义以及欧盟增值税的协调

This judgment favours a narrow interpretation of terms in Council Decisions that authorise a derogation from the VAT Directives (here: ‘construction work’ contained in Council Decision 2004/290/EC). The Court also ruled that a Member State is not obliged to fully apply the authorisation, but may instead apply it only in part, provided the requirements of fiscal neutrality, proportionality and legal certainty are met. It is the task of the courts of the Member States to ascertain whether this is the case.
这一判决倾向于对理事会决定中授权克减增值税指令的术语进行狭义解释(这里:理事会决定2004/290/EC中包含的“建筑工程”)。法院还裁定,成员国没有义务完全实施授权,而可以只部分实施授权,前提是满足财政中立、相称性和法律确定性的要求。会员国法院的任务是确定情况是否如此。

The taxation of cross-border interstate sales in federal or common markets 在联邦或共同市场对跨州销售的征税
Pub Date : 2013-05-10 DOI: 10.5235/20488432.2.1.1

The taxation of cross-border transactions within federal or common markets presents significant challenges to the efficient and fair application of VAT. This article discusses the interstate tax jurisdiction and collection rules applied in the European Union, the United States and Canada. The analysis finds that while the destination principle is dominant, there are very important differences in law and in practice between the three jurisdictions. In the EU, the cost of following the destination principle appears to be significant complexity and fraud. In the US, the absence of a VAT places a significant barrier to achieving the principle since the use tax is unable to effectively fix the problems. In contrast, the system in place in Canada, while complex, seems to do a good job at protecting the sales tax base in relation to interprovincial cross-border transactions.
对联邦或共同市场内的跨境交易征税对增值税的有效和公平适用提出了重大挑战。本文讨论了适用于欧盟、美国和加拿大的州际税收管辖权和征收规则。分析发现,虽然目的地原则占主导地位,但三个司法管辖区在法律和实践上存在着非常重要的差异。在欧盟,遵循目的地原则的代价似乎是严重的复杂性和欺诈。在美国,没有增值税对实现这一原则构成了重大障碍,因为使用税无法有效解决问题。相比之下,加拿大现行的税收体系虽然复杂,但似乎在保护与跨省跨境交易相关的销售税基数方面做得很好。

Issue of shares and partnership interests, and the look-through approach within the scope of VAT and GST 股份和合伙权益的发行,以及增值税和商品及服务税范围内的审查方法
Pub Date : 2013-05-10 DOI: 10.5235/20488432.2.1.24

Taxpayers can raise money needed to provide taxable supplies by issuing shares. The issue of shares is a non-economic activity within the European VAT system and an input taxed supply within the Australian GST system. Both characterisations usually cause a denial of an input tax credit for acquisitions which are related to the issue of shares. In this paper, the author tests different mechanisms within the VAT/GST system which try to avoid unsatisfactory results caused by characterising the issue of shares as a non-taxable supply and ensure that only private consumption is subject to VAT/GST. The author will reveal that a general ‘lookthrough approach’ is the most appropriate mechanism because it harmonises the intended tax goal of the VAT/GST system and the concepts of non-economic, exempt and input taxed supplies.
纳税人可以通过发行股票来筹集提供应税物资所需的资金。股票发行在欧洲增值税制度下属于非经济活动,在澳大利亚商品及服务税制度下属于进项税供应。这两种特征通常会导致与股票发行有关的收购的进项税抵免被拒绝。在本文中,作者测试了增值税/商品及服务税制度内的不同机制,这些机制试图避免由于将股票发行描述为非应税供应而导致的不满意结果,并确保只有私人消费才受增值税/商品及服务税的约束。作者将揭示,一般的“透视方法”是最合适的机制,因为它协调了增值税/商品及服务税制度的预期税收目标和非经济,免税和进项税供应的概念。

Does the running of a photovoltaic installation without a power storage facility on or adjacent to a private dwelling constitute an ‘economic activity’ within the VAT Directive? 在私人住宅上或附近运行没有电力储存设施的光伏装置是否构成增值税指令中的“经济活动”?
Pub Date : 2012-12-01 DOI: 10.5235/WJOVL.1.2.198
Tina Ehrke-Rabel, Barbara Gunacker-Slawitsch
The Austrian Supreme Administrative Court (Verwaltungsgerichtshof, VwGH) presented a pending case to the ECJ by asking for a preliminary ruling. The question was whether the running of a photovoltaic plant on or adjacent to a private house constitutes a taxable activity under the VAT Directive, if the energy produced by this plant is fed into the public power grid for consideration. In return, the private household that owns this plant has its energy supplied by this public supplier. The consideration paid by the public supplier to the household for feeding into the grid is equal to the price the private household pays for the supply of energy. Although the private household’s photovoltaic system produces less energy than the household needs for its own purposes, this energy is fed into the public power grid. According to the VwGH this might be due to the fact that the photovoltaic plant in question is not equipped with a storage system. The private household considering carrying out an economic activity applied for the input VAT on the acquisition of the photovoltaic system to be refunded. The tax administration refused, and the Court of Appeal (Unabhänigiger Finanzsenat, UFS) granted the deduction, affirming the existence of an economic activity in accordance with Article 9 RVD. The tax administration lodged an appeal. Although the German Tax Supreme Court (BFH) consistently considers the feeding of privately produced energy into the public power grid as constituting an economic activity under the RVD, the Austrian Supreme Court remains doubtful.
奥地利最高行政法院(Verwaltungsgerichtshof, VwGH)向欧洲法院提出了一项悬而未决的案件,要求作出初步裁决。问题是,根据增值税指令,在私人住宅上或附近运行光伏电站是否构成应税活动,如果该电站产生的能源被输入公共电网供考虑。作为回报,拥有这个工厂的私人家庭的能源由这个公共供应商提供。公共供应商为家庭接入电网支付的对价等于私人家庭为能源供应支付的价格。尽管私人家庭的光伏系统产生的能量比家庭自身所需的能量要少,但这些能量被送入公共电网。根据VwGH的说法,这可能是由于有问题的光伏电站没有配备存储系统。考虑开展经济活动的私人家庭申请购买光伏系统的进项增值税将被退还。税务机关拒绝,上诉法院(Unabhänigiger Finanzsenat, UFS)准予扣除,确认存在根据RVD第9条规定的经济活动。税务机关提出了上诉。尽管德国税务最高法院(BFH)一贯认为,根据RVD,向公共电网提供私人生产的能源构成经济活动,但奥地利最高法院仍持怀疑态度。

There be dragons: the VAT implications arising from the De Beers SCA judgment 这里有一条龙:戴比尔斯SCA判决带来的增值税影响

In this article the author examines a recent judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) on 1 June 2012 upholding an appeal from the Tax Court, Cape Town with costs. The Tax Court had to determine whether the services acquired by De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd (DBCM) from NM Rothschild and Sons Ltd (NMR) were imported services as defined in section 1 the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991 and subject to VAT and whether the VAT incurred by DBCM in respect of the local advisory services acquired by DBCM constituted input tax as defined in the Act. The Tax Court found largely in favour of DBCM, in that the foreign services did not constitute imported services. In respect of the VAT paid by DBCM for the local advisory services it acquired, which relate inter alia to an offer to purchase the shares in DBCM, except insofar as the services rendered by the law firm Webber Wentzel Bowens (WWB) were allowed as deductible input tax, the Tax Court found that the services were otherwise not deductible as input tax as they related to the rendering of non-taxable supplies and that they did not relate to DBCM’s enterprise activities. On appeal, two judgments were written for the court: a lengthy judgment written jointly by Navsa and van Heerden JJA (the minority), and a separate concurring judgment written by Southwood AJA (Leach JA and Maclaren AJA concurring with that separate judgment) (the majority). The minority and majority judgments reached the same conclusion—albeit for different reasons: the foreign advisory services constituted taxable ‘imported services’ and no deduction for input tax was allowed in respect of the local services acquired by DBCM.
在本文中,作者审查了最高上诉法院(SCA)最近于2012年6月1日作出的一项判决,维持了开普敦税务法院关于诉讼费的上诉。税务法院必须确定戴比尔斯联合矿业有限公司(DBCM)从NM罗斯柴尔德父子有限公司(NMR)获得的服务是否属于1991年《增值税法案89》第1节中定义的进口服务,并需缴纳增值税,以及DBCM就其获得的本地咨询服务产生的增值税是否构成该法案中定义的进项税。税务法庭在很大程度上支持DBCM,因为外国服务不构成进口服务。关于支付的增值税DBCM当地收购咨询服务,与尤其在DBCM出价购买股票,除非服务呈现的律师事务所韦伯Wentzel鲍恩(WWB)被允许扣除进项税,税务法院发现服务不扣除进项税的相关非税供应呈现,他们没有与DBCM的企业活动。上诉时,法院为法院写了两份判决书:一份由Navsa和van Heerden JJA(少数人)共同撰写的长篇判决书,以及一份由Southwood AJA (Leach JA和Maclaren AJA同意该单独判决)撰写的单独的同意判决书(多数人)。少数派和多数派的判决得出了相同的结论——尽管理由不同:外国咨询服务构成应税的“进口服务”,DBCM获得的本地服务不允许扣除进项税。

Application of the AB SKF case in France AB SKF案例在法国的应用
Pub Date : 2012-12-01 DOI: 10.5235/WJOVL.1.2.205
Yolande Sérandour
The sine qua non of the right to deduct VAT is that expenses are allocated to taxable operations or to exports. For every single expense, one has to determine whether it contributes to the realisation of a specific, taxed supply of goods or services or to export. This question is particularly difficult when it concerns expenses linked to the sale of shares. A sale of shares may fall outside the scope of VAT or fall inside and be exempt. It falls outside the scope if the seller is not involved, habitually, in the activity of sale of shares or if the sale is not linked to an economic activity falling within the scope of VAT. It falls within the scope and is exempt if it relates to an economic activity. When the sale of shares falls outside the scope or falls within the scope and is exempt, a priori, there is no right to deduct input VAT. This was the solution adopted by the ECJ from the BLP Group case of 6 April 1995 until the AB SKF case of 29 October 2009. In respect of financial operations, the ECJ found a solution on 8 June 2000: namely, the notion of ‘overheads’. If expenditures relate to a non-taxable financial operation and constitute overhead costs linked to taxable economic activities, they give rise to the right to deduct input VAT. This solution was adopted by the ECJ in the Midland Bank case, which related not to a sale of shares but to an attempt to buy shares, and this solution has had an impact on both practitioners and the ECJ. The solution regarding overheads was reaffirmed in the Abbey National case, dated 22 February 2001. That case concerned the transfer of a totality of assets, which was ‘neutralised’ for VAT purposes, ie it did not trigger any tax liability or an obligation to adjust input VAT. The Cibo Participations case of 27 September 2001 dealt with the acquisition of shares and not with the sale of such shares. On 23 October 2001, the French tax authorities authorised the deduction of VAT for activities relating to capital. However, the interpretive guidelines do not mention sale of shares. They deal with activities relating to the introduction of shares on a regulated market, capital increases, acquisition of holdings in subsidiaries (with or without participation in the management of the company), mergers, demergers, and contributions of a business or part of a business. The same guidelines deal with the calculation of the deductible proportion. It should be stressed that the guidelines deal with the acquisition of a substantial holding (meaning investment for a long-term period granting an influence in the management of the company, referred to below as ‘substantial participation’) and not portfolio investments.
增值税抵扣权的必要条件是费用分配给应税经营或出口。对于每一项支出,人们都必须确定它是否有助于实现特定的、征税的商品或服务供应,还是有助于出口。当涉及到与出售股票相关的费用时,这个问题尤其困难。出售股票可能不属于增值税的范围,也可能属于增值税的范围,可以免税。如果卖方没有习惯性地参与股票销售活动,或者该销售与属于增值税范围的经济活动无关,则不属于增值税范围。它属于范围内,如果涉及经济活动,则可以豁免。销售股份不在范围内或者属于范围内,先行免征的,无权抵扣进项增值税。这是欧洲法院从1995年4月6日BLP集团案到2009年10月29日AB SKF案所采用的解决方案。在金融业务方面,欧洲法院在2000年6月8日找到了一个解决方案:即“管理费用”的概念。如果支出涉及非应税财务业务,并构成与应税经济活动相关的间接成本,则有权扣除进项增值税。欧洲法院在米德兰银行案中采用了这一解决方案,该案涉及的不是出售股票,而是试图购买股票,这一解决方案对从业人员和欧洲法院都产生了影响。关于间接费用的解决办法在2001年2月22日的Abbey National案中得到重申。该案例涉及转移全部资产,这些资产被“中和”为增值税目的,即它没有触发任何纳税义务或调整进项增值税的义务。2001年9月27日Cibo Participations案涉及的是股份的收购,而不是股份的出售。2001年10月23日,法国税务机关批准扣除与资本有关的活动的增值税。然而,解释性指引并未提及出售股份。它们处理与在受监管的市场上引入股票、增加资本、收购子公司的股份(参与或不参与公司的管理)、合并、分拆以及企业或部分企业的贡献有关的活动。同样的指导方针处理免赔比例的计算。应该强调的是,指导方针涉及的是获得大量控股(即长期投资,从而对公司的管理产生影响,下文称为“实质性参与”),而不是证券投资。
{"title":"Application of the AB SKF case in France","authors":"Yolande Sérandour","doi":"10.5235/WJOVL.1.2.205","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5235/WJOVL.1.2.205","url":null,"abstract":"The sine qua non of the right to deduct VAT is that expenses are allocated to taxable operations or to exports. For every single expense, one has to determine whether it contributes to the realisation of a specific, taxed supply of goods or services or to export. This question is particularly difficult when it concerns expenses linked to the sale of shares. A sale of shares may fall outside the scope of VAT or fall inside and be exempt. It falls outside the scope if the seller is not involved, habitually, in the activity of sale of shares or if the sale is not linked to an economic activity falling within the scope of VAT. It falls within the scope and is exempt if it relates to an economic activity. When the sale of shares falls outside the scope or falls within the scope and is exempt, a priori, there is no right to deduct input VAT. This was the solution adopted by the ECJ from the BLP Group case of 6 April 1995 until the AB SKF case of 29 October 2009. In respect of financial operations, the ECJ found a solution on 8 June 2000: namely, the notion of ‘overheads’. If expenditures relate to a non-taxable financial operation and constitute overhead costs linked to taxable economic activities, they give rise to the right to deduct input VAT. This solution was adopted by the ECJ in the Midland Bank case, which related not to a sale of shares but to an attempt to buy shares, and this solution has had an impact on both practitioners and the ECJ. The solution regarding overheads was reaffirmed in the Abbey National case, dated 22 February 2001. That case concerned the transfer of a totality of assets, which was ‘neutralised’ for VAT purposes, ie it did not trigger any tax liability or an obligation to adjust input VAT. The Cibo Participations case of 27 September 2001 dealt with the acquisition of shares and not with the sale of such shares. On 23 October 2001, the French tax authorities authorised the deduction of VAT for activities relating to capital. However, the interpretive guidelines do not mention sale of shares. They deal with activities relating to the introduction of shares on a regulated market, capital increases, acquisition of holdings in subsidiaries (with or without participation in the management of the company), mergers, demergers, and contributions of a business or part of a business. The same guidelines deal with the calculation of the deductible proportion. It should be stressed that the guidelines deal with the acquisition of a substantial holding (meaning investment for a long-term period granting an influence in the management of the company, referred to below as ‘substantial participation’) and not portfolio investments.","PeriodicalId":114680,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of VAT/GST Law","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128869744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
