  • Judgment of 6 September 2022 (A-1706/2021): Value added tax 2012-2015; input tax deduction, tax evasion; Neither the lower court nor the taxpayer disputed that the requirements for the input tax deduction were basically met. The only disputed issue was whether this was a case of tax evasion. In the present case, the invoicing and affiliated company had only a small amount of equity, no fixed assets and only a few employees who could also have been employed by the taxpayer. By going bankrupt and effectively not paying the sales tax, the invoicing and related company saved tax; dismissal of the taxpayer's appeal.
