Missing trader fraud
I think my brain's stopped working because try as I might, I just don't understand a phrase. Three Spanish people have tried to explain the meaning but I'm none the wiser :-(
The context:
Missing trader fraud (also called missing trader intra-community, MTIC, or carousel fraud) is the theft of Value Added Tax (VAT) from a government by organised crime gangs who exploit the way VAT is treated within multi-jurisdictional trading where the movement of goods between jurisdictions is VAT-free.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_trader_fraud
Precio final (con IVA) ofertado por la estructura al cliente = Precio de compra al proveedor de la UE + comisión
I'm confused because suppliers usually sell goods and in this case it seems as if the suppliers are buying them. At the moment I've translated it as:
End price (with VAT) the structure charges the customer = purchase price paid by the EU supplier + commission
Thank you in advance!

| Thank you, Robin. I think it was the lack of a verb that threw me. |
