COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1042/2013
of 7 October 2013
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2011 as regards the place of supply of services
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 397 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2006/112/EC provides that as from 1 January 2015, all telecommunications, radio and television broadcasting and electronically supplied services supplied to a non-taxable person are to be taxed in the Member State in which the customer is established, has his permanent address or usually resides, regardless of where the taxable person supplying those services is established. Most other services supplied to a non-taxable person continue to be taxed in the Member State in which the supplier is established. |
(2) |
In order to determine which services must be taxed in the Member State of the customer, it is essential to define telecommunications, radio and television broadcasting and electronically supplied services. In particular, the concept of radio and television broadcasting (hereinafter ‘broadcasting’) services should be clarified, drawing from definitions laid down in Directive 2010/13/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |
(3) |
To clarify matters, transactions identified as electronically supplied services have been listed in Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2011 (3), without the list being exhaustive. The list should be updated, and similar lists should be drawn up for telecommunications and broadcasting services. |
(4) |
It is necessary to specify who is the supplier for value added tax (VAT) purposes where electronically supplied services, or telephone services provided through the internet, are supplied to a customer through telecommunications networks or via an interface or a portal. |
(5) |
To ensure the uniform application of the rules governing the place of supply of hiring of means of transport and the place of supply of telecommunications, broadcasting and electronically supplied services, it is necessary to specify where a non-taxable legal person should be considered to be established. |
(6) |
With a view to determining who is liable for payment of the VAT on the supply of telecommunications, broadcasting or electronically supplied services, and taking into account that the place of taxation is the same regardless of whether the customer is a taxable or a non-taxable person, the supplier should be able to determine the status of a customer solely based on whether the customer communicates his individual VAT identification number. This status must, in accordance with the general rules, be amended if such a communication is subsequently made by the customer. If no such communication is received, the supplier should remain liable for payment of the VAT. |
(7) |
Where a non-taxable person is established in more than one country or has his permanent address in one country but usually resides in another, priority is to be given to the place that best ensures taxation at the place of actual consumption. To avoid conflicts concerning jurisdiction between Member States, the place of actual consumption should be specified. |
(8) |
Rules should be established in order to clarify the tax treatment of the supply of hiring of means of transport and telecommunications, broadcasting and electronically supplied services to a non-taxable person whose place of establishment, permanent address or usual residence is practically impossible to... |
