Court Ruling on Deductibility of VAT on Invoices from [B.V.] for Services Rendered

  • The court case involves a dispute over whether the taxpayer can deduct input tax from invoices issued by a company referred to as B.V.
  • The taxpayer claims the tax inspector wrongly disallowed the input tax deduction related to B.V.’s invoices.
  • The taxpayer argues that B.V. provided services related to relocation to Spain, acquisition, translation, project management, and research for new activities.
  • The tax inspector disputes the validity of the invoices, noting the absence of a VAT number, incorrect address, and discrepancies in B.V.’s business registration.
  • The inspector suggests the invoices and agreement are false and that B.V. did not perform any services for the taxpayer.
  • The court notes that the taxpayer must prove compliance with material and formal requirements for input tax deduction.
  • The court finds no evidence of services performed by B.V. and inconsistencies between the agreement and B.V.’s registered activities.
  • The taxpayer failed to explain the missing VAT number and address issues on the invoices.
