COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2017/319

of 21 February 2017

amending Implementing Decision 2013/677/EU authorising Luxembourg to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax

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 395 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | Under Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Member States which have not exercised the option under Article 14 of Second Council Directive 67/228/EEC (2) are able to exempt from value added tax (‘VAT’) taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 5 000 or the equivalent in national currency. They are also able to grant graduated tax relief to taxable persons whose annual turnover exceeds the ceiling fixed by them for its application. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Under Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Member States which have not exercised the option under Article 14 of Second Council Directive 67/228/EEC (2) are able to exempt from value added tax (‘VAT’) taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 5 000 or the equivalent in national currency. They are also able to grant graduated tax relief to taxable persons whose annual turnover exceeds the ceiling fixed by them for its application.

| (2) | By Council Implementing Decision 2013/677/EU (3), Luxembourg was authorised, as a measure derogating from Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC (‘the derogating measure’), to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 25 000 until 31 December 2016. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

By Council Implementing Decision 2013/677/EU (3), Luxembourg was authorised, as a measure derogating from Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC (‘the derogating measure’), to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 25 000 until 31 December 2016.

| (3) | By letter registered with the Commission on 26 September 2016, Luxembourg requested authorisation to extend the derogating measure from 1 January 2017 and, at the same time, to increase the threshold from EUR 25 000 to EUR 30 000. |
| --- | --- |

By letter registered with the Commission on 26 September 2016, Luxembourg requested authorisation to extend the derogating measure from 1 January 2017 and, at the same time, to increase the threshold from EUR 25 000 to EUR 30 000.

| (4) | The Commission informed the other Member States by letters dated 4 October 2016 of the request made by Luxembourg. By letter dated 5 October 2016, the Commission notified Luxembourg that it had all the information necessary to consider the request. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The Commission informed the other Member States by letters dated 4 October 2016 of the request made by Luxembourg. By letter dated 5 October 2016, the Commission notified Luxembourg that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.

| (5) | According to the information provided by Luxembourg, 970 additional taxable persons could potentially make use of the derogating measure in order to reduce their VAT obligations referred to in Chapters 2 to 6 of Title XI of Directive 2006/112/EC. The burden on the tax administration with regard to tax collection and the auditing of small businesses would therefore also be decreased. |

According to the information provided by Luxembourg, 970 additional taxable persons could potentially make use of the derogating measure in order to reduce their VAT obligations referred to in Chapters 2 to 6 of Title XI of Directive 2006/112/EC. The burden on the tax administration with regard to tax collection and the auditing of small businesses would therefore also be decreased.

| (6) | Given that the derogating measure will result in reduced VAT obligations for small businesses, which will still be able to opt for the regular VAT arrangements in accordance with Article 290 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Luxembourg should be authorised to apply the increased threshold until 31 December 2019. |

Given that the derogating measure will result in reduced VAT obligations for small businesses, which will still be able to opt for the regular VAT arrangements in accordance with Article 290 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Luxembourg should be authorised to apply the increased threshold until 31 December 2019.

| (7) | Derogations are normally granted for a limited time in order to allow for an assessment of whether they are appropriate and effective. Moreover, as Articles 281 to 294 of Directive 2006/112/EC on a special scheme for small enterprises are subject to review, it is possible that a directive amending those provisions will enter into force before 31 December 2019. The derogating measure should therefore be limited in time and accompanied by a sunset clause. |
