Revision of previously deducted VAT for apartment not used for business purposes

• The taxpayer purchased a new apartment in March 2008 and claimed the VAT charged on the construction in his tax returns.
• The tax authority argues that the apartment was never used for business purposes and therefore revised the VAT deduction for the years 2014-2018.
• The court ruled that the taxpayer’s reliance on a previous case did not prevent the tax authority from issuing a reassessment for the year 2014.
• The court also found that the tax authority incorrectly assessed VAT on a specific transaction in the fourth quarter of 2016.
