Zero-rated VAT supplies on basic goods allow for the deduction of input tax

A food trading company has enquired whether supplies of goods at the 0% rate (pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 20/2022) allow for the deduction of VAT on purchases and how this affects their pro rata rule. The DGT has ruled that these transactions are taxable and not exempt, thereby permitting deduction and removing the need to apply the pro rata rule.

How it affects those involved
