Calculation of VAT reimbursement for a Danish insurance company with a fixed establishment in Y1-land

  • The case involves H1, an insurance company in Y1-land, seeking additional reimbursement of a VAT amount.
  • H1 operates exempt insurance business and is not entitled to deduct VAT on its purchases.
  • The issue is whether the turnover from H1’s fixed establishment in Y1-land can be included in the reimbursement calculation.
  • The Østre Landsret ruled in favor of the Skattestyrelsen, stating that H1 cannot include the turnover from the fixed establishment.
  • The court also ruled that H1 failed to provide evidence of allocating costs to the fixed establishment, which could have resulted in a smaller reimbursement.
  • Skattestyrelsen was therefore not liable for H1’s claims.
  • The relevant legal provisions are found in Momslovens § 13, stk. 1, nr. 10 and Momslovens § 45, stk. 4 (dagældende
  • nugældende lovs § 37, stk. 7).
  • The case references various sections of Den juridiske vejledning 2023-1.
