- In judicial cost assessment decisions, VAT on litigation costs can only be considered and determined if the winning party declares that they are not entitled to input tax deduction.
- The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court had to address how to proceed in cases of joint plaintiffs, where only some of them are entitled to input tax deduction.
