AG advises Supreme Court on VAT deduction for notary’s interest on quality account

  • The case involves whether the interest received by a notary in connection with holding a quality account affects the deduction of input tax on general costs
  • The Inspector has imposed VAT on X (taxpayer) on the grounds that there is not a full right to deduct input tax, as the actions related to the quality scheme are exempt from VAT
  • X believes they can fully deduct input tax on their general costs
  • The case relates to the years 2011, 2012, and 2013, with the issue of interest on the quality account becoming relevant again in 2024
  • The Inspector’s decisions were upheld in lower courts, but X has appealed to the Supreme Court
  • X does not provide services to the bank under a taxable title, so the extent of the right to deduct input tax needs to be clarified
