Accordingly, the deduction of input tax is also permissible if the <strong>supplying<\/strong> entrepreneur only indicates a <strong>&#8220;mailbox address&#8221;<\/strong> in the invoice, under which he can, however, be reached (by post).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the court pointed out that in cases where the substantive and formal conditions are met, the deduction of input tax may not be denied under EU law if the trader did not know and could not have known that the input transaction in question was involved in a tax evasion committed by its supplier or that a previous or subsequent trader in the supply chain had evaded VAT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(Further comments &amp; information on this can be found in our information letter 10\/2018 under item 2.)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1540305703293-d0fc4187-1778-7&#8243; include=&#8221;6226,6225,6224&#8243;][bsf-info-box icon=&#8221;Defaults-line-chart&#8221; icon_size=&#8221;32&#8243; pos=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon-component style_1\">\n<div id=\"Info-box-wrap-3609\" class=\"aio-icon-box left-icon\">\n<div class=\"aio-ibd-block\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon-description ult-responsive\" data-ultimate-target=\"#Info-box-wrap-3609 .aio-icon-description\" data-responsive-json-new=\"{&quot;font-size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;line-height&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon-description ult-responsive\" data-ultimate-target=\"#Info-box-wrap-9367 .aio-icon-description\" data-responsive-json-new=\"{&quot;font-size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;line-height&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon-description ult-responsive\" data-ultimate-target=\"#Info-box-wrap-1001 .aio-icon-description\" data-responsive-json-new=\"{&quot;font-size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;line-height&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\"><strong>A) Newsletter bestellen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Immer gut informiert sein, verpassen Sie keine Neuigkeiten mehr!
