- Gemeente Dinkelland had to adjust its VAT recovery methods in 2016
- It was repaid additional input tax of €706k for 2012 to 2016
- The CJEU considered whether the municipality should be entitled to interest on the VAT repayment
- EU Member States must pay interest on tax levied in breach of EU law
- In this case, there was no breach of EU law, so interest on the repayment did not start to accrue from the dates that VAT was originally overpaid.
