- Two companies requested a refund of VAT after 20 years, but were denied because they were too late.
- The requests were considered as objections to tax payments and as requests for discretionary refunds.
- The companies appealed the denial of their requests.
- The court ruled that the companies were not within the legal deadline for filing objections.
- The court also stated that a later reason for objection does not excuse the delay.
- The companies were advised to take their case to the civil court instead of the tax court.
