The revision procedure XI R 28/17 dealt with the sales tax treatment of expansion measures on a public municipal road, which serve to fulfill an official requirement. Esp. The question arose as to whether the VAT payable on input services as part of the expansion measures on a public municipal road entitles the entrepreneur to deduct input tax. If so, a decision had to be made as to whether the expansion measures carried out on the municipal road to meet an official requirement represent a payment for delivery, whereby the approval of the operation of a quarry under this requirement is to be viewed as consideration. If this question were again answered in the negative, it was still in question.
