Recital 7
(7) A taxable person facilitating certain supplies of goods in the Community through the use of an electronic interface is deemed to have received and supplied the goods himself and is liable to pay VAT on these supplies. It is important to take into account that such a taxable person may be dependent on the accuracy of the information provided by the suppliers selling goods through that electronic interface to correctly declare and pay the amount of VAT due. It is therefore reasonable to provide that, when the information received is erroneous, such a taxable person shall not be held liable for any amount of VAT in excess of the VAT which he declared and paid on these supplies where he can demonstrate that he did not and could not reasonably have known that the information received was incorrect. This should allow Member States to release those taxable persons from additional VAT liability where they act in good faith.
