- The Swedish Tax Agency has issued a statement clarifying the division of input VAT.
- An acquisition or import must be associated with an outgoing transaction that does or doesn’t entail a right to deduct input VAT.
- It is possible to use the input VAT in a way that not all of it is deducted, under certain circumstances.
- The Tax Agency’s position is that the entire annual turnover must be included in the computation when apportioning input tax according to the main rule in EU Directive 2006/112/EC.
- The directive cannot be applied if input tax is associated with acquisitions that are partially for private use or a non-economic activity.
