Claim for Refund of Incorrectly Paid VAT from Tax Office

FG Munich Decision 18.7.2024 – 14 K 247/23

  • The FG Munich addressed the issue of whether a flight company, which receives tax-exempt services under certain provisions, can claim a refund of incorrectly charged VAT from the tax office
  • The court referred to previous EU court rulings in the cases of “Reemtsma” and “Schütte” to make its decision
  • The key point was that if the recipient of the service knows that VAT is being incorrectly charged and that reclaiming it will be difficult, they may have a right to a refund under certain conditions
