Overview of tax law decisions of the Swiss Federal Administrative Court published between July 3 - 9, 2023.
- Judgment of 16 June 2023 (A-4304/2021): Value added tax; non-cash benefits to closely related persons; the taxable entity X. AG provided its 50% shareholder (closely related person within the meaning of Art. 26 VAT Ordinance in conjunction with Art. 24 para. 2 VAT Act) with seven collector's cars for private use - i.e. outside the business sphere or business use. According to practice and case law, it follows that the provision of the vehicles is not a purely internal service, but a service relationship between the shareholder and X.AG. This service relationship is to be treated in the same way as the exchange of services between A.AG and a third party. A rental fee is to be estimated on this service rendered by X.AG, and VAT is to be charged on this fee at the standard rate. Dismissal of the taxpayer's appeal.
