Tax Treatment of Sale of Three Cars and Collector’s Items

• A company engaged in buying, selling, and repairing cars, including Porsche 356 models, used the second-hand VAT scheme for three used Porsches
• Tax authorities deemed the company did not meet the conditions for the second-hand VAT scheme
• The three Porsches were considered to meet the conditions for being collector’s items under the VAT law
• The issue was whether the VAT should be calculated according to the rules for “used goods etc.” or “used motor vehicles” under the VAT law
• Two members of the court found that the VAT treatment of used motor vehicles should be based on the specific section for used motor vehicles
• One member found that the calculation of the VAT falls under the category of “used goods etc.” and therefore the collector’s items in this case were not covered by the section for used motor vehicles
• The decision was made by majority vote.
