On behalf of the Tax Department of DLA PIPER Italy, on the exemption of VAT for goods and services donated in the fight against and management of the pandemic due to Covid-19 

Petition richtet sich an: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner requests the European Parliament to call for an urgent legislative proposal in view of allowing Member States to exempt from VAT the free supply of good and services for the management and fight of the epidemiological emergency caused by Covid-19, in case these goods and services are delivered by EU-resident VAT-contributors to the benefit of States, local and regional authorities as well as other public and private entities. The petitioner further calls for this legislative proposal to also grant the persons donating these goods and services, the full deduction of the VAT they paid on the purchase of these goods and services, or the VAT paid on the acquisition of goods and services used to produce them.
