Court of Appeal Arnhem-Leeuwarden: Burden of Proof in VAT Deduction Dispute

  • The taxpayer must provide evidence to support their claim for deduction of input tax
  • The taxpayer failed to provide invoices dated within the relevant period, resulting in the tax assessment being upheld
  • The burden of proof has been reversed and heightened due to the taxpayer’s awareness of the additional turnover
  • The tax authority must make a reasonable estimate of turnover and income when issuing assessments
  • The tax authority’s estimate was based on the taxpayer’s own records and negative cash balances, deemed reasonable by the court
