With its recent ruling in the Hungarian Bakati case, the European Court of Justice has settled VAT refund cases for foreign travelers and apparently is announcing a winner in the fight between cross-border traders and NAV.

“There were several issues in the case on which the court did not rule. Thus, for example, even after the verdict, it is not clear where the boundaries between private and commercial traffic are (what fits into the concept of personal and luggage and what does not), ”explains Jalsovszky Law Office’s expert. “However, this is more of an issue on which the EU legislator should address it.” (Jalsovszky Law Office, Barta Péter lawyer)
