- The case involves the question of whether a flat-rate farmer can claim input tax deduction for goods used for taxable supplies when switching from the flat-rate taxation to regular taxation.
- The application of the flat-rate taxation has been limited to businesses with a total turnover of less than €600,000 since January 1, 2022.
- The question arises whether input tax deduction is excluded for goods acquired during the flat-rate taxation period but used for taxable supplies after switching to regular taxation.
- The Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) has ruled on this matter.
