Mechanic Loses VAT Exemption for Selling Car Parts: Legal Ruling

• The text discusses a court ruling regarding VAT exemption for a mechanic who also sells car parts.
• The mechanic had claimed VAT exemption due to his annual sales not exceeding the legal limit of 200,000 PLN.
• However, the tax authorities discovered that the mechanic was also selling car parts through an online auction portal.
• As a result, the mechanic lost the VAT exemption and was ordered to pay taxes for the period of September 2019 to December 2020.
• The court rejected the mechanic’s argument that the sale of car parts was separate from his business activities, citing evidence from the tax book and online profiles.
• The court also considered transaction records and bank statements as evidence of the scale of the mechanic’s operations.
• The ruling is not final and can be appealed.
