- The Danish Tax Council (Skatterådet) ruled that purchasing 1-2 luxury cars for resale does not constitute an economic activity for VAT purposes.
- The applicant could not deduct input VAT on the purchase of the cars, as the activity resembled private investment rather than business operations.
- The same applies to cars offered for leasing to investors; this setup was not considered typical business behavior for car trading companies.
- The decision was based on the fact that the cars would be sold only when market conditions were optimal, similar to private asset management.
