EU Governments amend VAT treatment of carbon credits to prevent fraud
Three EU governments have recently announced changes to the VAT treatment of the sale of carbon credits, driven largely by the detection of a number of 'carousel' type cases of VAT fraud. This change may impact the treatment of carbon credits for Irish VAT purposes and will be of interest to companies involved in electricity generation, using heavy volumes of electicity, trading in or are engaged in projects which generate carbon credits and in particular those industrial/ chemical companies generating carbon emissions from industrial processes.
