The ECJ has made triangulation supplies easier to carry out through its judgment in the case of Hans Bühler KG (judgment of 19.04.2018 - C-580/16). The simplification rule for triangulation supplies is also applicable if the intermediate is established or registered in the country of departure. This means that businesses could possibly avoid registrations abroad. The situation is to be analyzed against this background and the progress in the relevant countries is to be followed. The ECJ also restricts the importance of the formal requirements, as it views EC Sales Lists, which have not been filed or filed late, as being harmless. This could also apply to other formal requirements, such as invoicing.
