Full Mineral Oil Tax Due for Unauthorized Mixing; Taxpayer Liable Regardless of Mixing Circumstances, BFG 2025

    In this case, the BFG ruled that the unauthorized mixing of mineral oils in a tank created a new mineral oil, triggering a new tax liability at the full mineral oil tax rate, without credit for previously paid taxes. The BFG followed the customs authority’s view and referenced a VwGH decision, which classified such mixing as a manufacturing process. Since it could not be determined who performed the mixing or when, the tax liability falls on the person in possession of the mixed mineral oil at the time of the official inspection.
