consolidated tax group for value added tax purposes

The Organschaft is the consolidated tax group (parent and subsidiaries are treated as a single entity for whatever tax is involved, Umsatz-, Gewerbe-, Körperschaftsteuer etc.)

The Organträger is the consolidated tax group parent and the Organgesellschaft is the consolidated tax group company/subsidiary.

Pretty sure all of these terms should be in the archives here.

agree RobinB : though I'd probably shorten it to "consolidated VAT group"

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "thank you Ted, but also JoBennet. One of those cases where both deserve Kudoz. I eventually went with the "consolidated VAT group" "

VAT Group

A VAT Group is the UK VAT term for one type of legal entity consisting of a number of companies. It can be registered as a group for VAT purposes, in which case one of the companies takes on the role of group representative. The German phrase is "umsatzsteuerliche Organschaft".
Example sentence:

A VAT group is treated in the same way as a single company registered for VAT on its own. (Quote from the web page below)

Yes - it depends on the context really, doesn't it. It's the term I would have expected in my days as a VAT officer.

single entity for VAT purposes

Bin mir bzgl. "consolidated" nicht ganz sicher, ob das hier gemeint ist.

Auch weiß ich mangels Kontext nicht, ob hier wirklich ein Konzern vorliegt.

Um sicher zu gehen, daher mein Vorschlag mit "single entity..."

Jedenfalls interessante Frage!
Peer comment(s):

neutral RobinB : Note that an Organschaft is a "consolidated tax group" or "tax consolidation group" (normally for corporation/trade tax). A (consolidated) VAT group is just another form of Organschaft.
