Dispute over VAT liability for real estate sale and business termination – Asset labeling.

  • Dispute over whether office building is considered business or private property for VAT purposes
  • Taxpayer used office building solely for business purposes
  • Taxpayer argues that he treated the building as private property by not deducting VAT and renting it out tax-free
  • Court rules that since there was no private use of the building, it must be considered mandatory business property
  • Taxpayer would not have benefited from labeling the building as private property even if he had the choice
  • Taxpayer must prove his choice if he had the option to label the building as private property
