VAT Allocation in Insolvency: BFH Ruling on Business Continuation by Insolvency Administrator

  • The BFH addressed the issue of input tax allocation during the continuation of a business in insolvency proceedings.
  • The decision is related to another BFH decision from the same day.
  • Input tax from an insolvency administrator’s service must be allocated according to § 15 Abs. 4 UStG.
  • This applies when the insolvency debtor uses the service for both business and private insolvency liabilities.
  • Exceptionally, input tax allocation can be based on the debtor’s overall activity during administration.
  • This is applicable if the insolvency administrator continues the debtor’s business without liquidation actions.
