Austrian Court Clarifies Input VAT Deduction Rules for Apartment Rentals in Business Use Case

    The Austrian Federal Finance Court ruled that the taxpayer was not entitled to an input VAT deduction for an apartment purchased and leased for office use, as there was no clear intent to rent it at the time of purchase, and the rental agreement changes were not customary. The Tax Office’s denial of the deduction and assessment of VAT liability for previous years was upheld.
