Formal Invoice Deficiencies and VAT Deduction Requirements: Austrian Federal Finance Court Decision 2025

  • The Federal Finance Court ruled in favor of the complainant, amending the contested decision.
  • The VAT for 2015 was set at EUR -54,252.72.
  • An ordinary revision to the Administrative Court is not permitted.
  • The dispute centered on whether the complainant was entitled to an input tax deduction from invoice No. 23.
  • A special VAT audit found invoices 22 to 24 did not meet legal requirements, denying the input tax deduction.
  • A corrected invoice was submitted but not accepted by the auditor.
  • The 2015 VAT assessment did not include the declared input tax from invoice No. 23.
  • The complainant filed an appeal, requesting recognition of the input tax for the corrected invoice.
  • The appeal was initially rejected, leading to a request for a hearing and decision by the Federal Finance Court.
  • A hearing was held on February 26, 2025, after the request for a Senate decision was withdrawn.
