Court Upholds VAT Corrections and Denied Refunds Due to Inadequate Evidence and Bookkeeping Gaps

  • The company received additional VAT assessments for 2015–2019 and was denied VAT refunds for 2018–2019 due to major bookkeeping gaps and missing evidence.
  • The court agreed the company failed to prove its right to deduct input VAT, especially for renovations, computers, domain names, and rent.
  • VAT corrections were made for private use of a Mercedes car and for unreported VAT on shareholder payments treated as advance payments.
  • The court rejected the company’s procedural complaints and upheld the inspector’s VAT corrections and denied refunds, except for a reduced 2015 late-payment penalty.
