Denial of VAT refund request leads to justified additional tax assessment

• Vof X has been issued a tax assessment for VAT based on a balance debt
• The balance debt is a result of purchasing watches in Spain with Spanish VAT and selling them in the Netherlands under the wrong tax scheme
• The request for a refund of the Spanish VAT has been rejected
• The court rules that the Spanish VAT cannot be deducted from the Dutch tax assessment
• The appeal based on the principle of trust fails
• The court does not have the power to change a previously made agreement with the tax authority or include agreements for 2016 that are not stated in the agreement
• The appeal is dismissed.
