Keith Lawson reviews the implications for charities of a European VAT decision The European court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that reverse charge VAT is due on services purchased for wholly non-business purposes in Kollektivavtalsstiftelsen TRR Trygghetsrådet v Skatteverket (C-291/07). This means that taxable persons must account for reverse charge VAT on acquiring cross-border consultancy services, even where those services are to be used exclusively for non-business purposes.
The advocate general of the European Court of Justice has delivered an opinion on reverse charge VAT due on services for non-business use. If accepted, UK charities would have to account for the reverse charge on overseas services acquired for wholly non-business purposes and therefore incur significant additional amounts of irrecoverable VAT.
