- The BMF letter of 17.5.2024 is a response to the case law of the ECJ and the BFH regarding the allocation decision, documentation, and deadlines related to input tax deduction for mixed-use items.
- In cases of mixed-use items, the taxpayer has the choice to allocate them entirely, partially, or not at all to their business for input tax deduction.
- Taxpayers must document their decision to allocate the item to the business in order to claim input tax deduction.
- The case law allows for some flexibility by emphasizing the importance of objectively recognizable evidence and relaxing strict documentation deadlines.
