Court Rules Doctor Not a VAT Entrepreneur Due to Lack of Independent Economic Activity

  • A court ruled that a doctor was incorrectly classified as a VAT entrepreneur.
  • The doctor was registered as a sole proprietorship but did not conduct independent economic activities.
  • Her partner was actually running the business and handling all administrative tasks.
  • The partner was responsible for VAT filings and business operations.
  • A VAT refund request led to an investigation revealing discrepancies in invoices.
  • One invoice was actually a quote, not a valid invoice.
  • The partner designed and managed the business processes and communications.
  • The business was effectively operated by the partner, not the doctor.
