Summary
The case concerned whether a company was entitled to exemption from payment/remission of interest and fees in connection with late payment of VAT. The company, which was domiciled in Sweden, had by mistake not imposed VAT on the sale of goods to a buyer in Denmark. The additional VAT amount amounted to approx. 30 million DKK, and since the buyer in Denmark could deduct the purchase VAT, which the company had to settle as sales VAT at the same time, the company entered into a dialogue with SKAT about whether an arrangement could be established so that the company did not have to pay the VAT amount. The scheme went i.a. to the fact that the buyer’s claim for payment of purchase VAT was transferred to the company. However, as a result of various circumstances, the company still had to pay the VAT amount, which the company did too late. The National Tax Court found, that the company was not entitled to exemption from payment/remission of interest and fees imposed in connection with this, as the National Tax Court i.a. emphasized that SKAT had not committed an official error (dissent).
