Supreme Tax Court judgment of 26 September 2019 (V R 38/18) published on 5 December 2019-
For the purposes of establishing whether an VAT-exempt intra-Community supply had been made, where other evidence exists establishing that the motor vehicles had been sent to their destination in the other EU country, the assumption of the absence of documentary evidence could not contradict such other evidence.
The proof of the customer’s entrepreneurial status resulting from the VAT ID number cannot be refuted by the mere assumption of a letterbox address.
