- The case concerns a Swiss company that requested a VAT refund in Greece for €236,051.76 charged on 16 invoices for services provided in 2008.
- The VAT was incorrectly charged due to a mistaken entry on invoices for services that should be taxed in the company’s home country.
- The Greek tax authority rejected the refund request.
- The company appealed, and the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal issued a preliminary decision requesting a review.
- The ruling establishes that there is no right to a VAT refund for foreign companies in such cases of incorrect VAT charges.
