Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Article 10 OTVA applies to acquisition of foreign services through representation.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The VAT representation rule also governs acquisition of services; civil-law Article 32 CO is not the relevant standard for VAT imputation.
Motivazione estratta
The text, purpose, and system of Article 10 OTVA show that it covers representation of the recipient as well as of the supplier. The rule aims to identify the true economic supplier and acquirer and prevent abuse.
