Advised Croatian company on triangular trade in Lithuania

Our tax experts advised a Croatian company on VAT issues in Lithuania on the application of triangular trade.

The advice resulted in a favourable interpretation by the tax authorities in favour of the client, stating that an intermediate stop (unloading and checking of the cargo) would not be considered as the end of the supply of goods.

Therefore, in such a case the triangular trade rules could be applied in the VAT context. Obtaining such a clarification provided the client with additional certainty and ensured the avoidance of a possible future tax dispute.
