Deductibility of Input VAT for Unregistered Company: No Fraud, Case Remitted for Reassessment

  • The case concerned whether a company was rightfully denied VAT deduction for Q1–Q3 2022 due to operating as an unregistered business with alleged fraudulent intent.
  • The company’s accountant applied for VAT registration, but the application was denied due to unmet security requirements; a subsequent application was withdrawn for the same reason.
  • The Tax Agency assessed the company’s output VAT but denied input VAT deduction, citing fraudulent intent to evade tax.
  • The Tax Appeals Board found no fraudulent intent, as the company had continuously recorded VAT and kept the Tax Agency informed.
  • The case was remanded to the Tax Agency to reassess the company’s right to deduct input VAT, provided material conditions are met.
