- In the context of contracts, distinguishing between penalties or compensation and additional payments is crucial for VAT application. Payments considered punitive or supplementary affect VAT applicability. In a case examined, a contractor faced delays and sought reimbursement for increased costs. The tax authority analyzed the VAT relevance of additional payments in a contract. A construction company experienced project delays and sued the client for extra costs. The court partially granted the claim, ordering the client to pay compensation plus interest, considering general expenses, delayed profits, equipment depreciation, and unnecessary wages.
