A private limited company (BV) performs both taxable and exempt activities from a single office space. The tax inspector used the turnover method to calculate the pro-rata deduction of input VAT.

However, the court ruled that the inspector was correct in applying the turnover method because the BV failed to sufficiently substantiate its alternative stand with objective data.
