- The case involves the application of the reverse charge mechanism for VAT.
- The taxpayer provided personnel for construction works related to immovable property.
- The taxpayer did not dispute that the VAT charged to them was for the provision of personnel for construction works.
- The reverse charge mechanism means that the VAT is levied on the recipient of the supply, not the supplier.
- The recipient cannot claim a deduction for VAT incorrectly charged by the supplier.
- Payment on a G-account is not relevant in this case.
- The taxpayer’s argument that the assessment should be reduced due to VAT correction in a previous year is rejected.
- The taxpayer’s claim of reliance on a 2012 report is not accepted as it does not establish a legally enforceable expectation.
