Questions 1 and 2: intra-Community acquisition subject to VAT : characteristicsVERY IMPORTANT• Every Member State is sovereign
• Every Member State determines if there is an intra-Community acquisition (subject to VAT) without taking into account whether there is or not an intra-Community supply exempt from VAT in the Member State of origin
Therefore, intra-Community acquisitions of goods subject to VAT in Malta are completely independent from whether
there have been intra-Community supplies of goods exempt from VAT in the Member State of origin : NO LINK AT ALL = TWO SEPARATE OPERATIONS
