A contract as an invoice for VAT purposes. Comments on the margin of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-235/21

The subject of this article is an analysis of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-235/21. The judgment states that, in certain situations, a contractual agreement concluded between two parties may be considered to be an invoice within the meaning of Art. 203 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax. The author attempts to identify the specific requirements that a contractual agreement must meet in order to be recognized as an invoice. In the light of the analysis carried out, such a contractual agreement can be recognized as an invoice if it clearly indicates that the taxable transaction has been carried out. This criterion can only be met by a contract relating to the transfer of ownership of the goods. It must also show that both parties are taxable persons acting as such, and it must specify the amount of tax and the tax rate. The latter may be derived indirectly. Finally, even if the contract meets the abovementioned conditions, it will not be considered an invoice if the supplier of the goods issues an invoice after the conclusion of the contract.
