Court Rules on Reimbursement of Costs and VAT in Negligent Tax Authority Case

  • The court ruled on 08-10-2024 regarding the integral reimbursement of (legal) costs, value-added tax, violation of the defense principle, and acting in a highly negligent manner.
  • The appeal was deemed admissible as it was filed prematurely but the decision against it was already made.
  • Special circumstances may warrant deviation from standard reimbursement amounts, such as when the tax authority acts in a highly negligent manner.
  • The plaintiff argued that the tax authority acted negligently by imposing a random tax assessment without proper explanation or evidence, violating the defense principle.
  • The court agreed that deviation from standard reimbursement amounts was justified in this case due to the tax authority’s negligent actions.
