No confidence is generated because the refund decision explicitly states that the amount to be refunded can still be corrected after inspection

  • In 2001, A received a house with solar collectors/solar panels.
  • On July 8, 2019, A filed a sales tax return and reclaimed €10,083 in VAT. The Tax Authorities granted the refund but later imposed an additional assessment of €7,596. The Northern Netherlands District Court ruled in favor of A’s appeal to the principle of trust.
  • However, the Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal disagreed, stating that the refund decision allowed for correction by the Tax Authorities. It is not disputed that A submitted the refund request on time.
  • The dispute is whether A included the house in his business assets in a timely manner.
  • The Court believes that A did include the house and made the request for a refund on time.
  • This choice can be made when filing a tax return for the period of first use, which was in 2001.
