- It is not possible to claim a VAT deduction for an earlier period via an additional tax return after receiving the tax document.
- The right to deduct VAT is conditional on possessing the tax document, and the law specifies the earliest period for claiming the deduction.
- Submitting an additional tax return for a period before receiving the tax document is not allowed, even if the obligation to declare tax arose earlier.
- The relevant legal provision (§ 104 of the VAT Act) does not justify such a procedure, as its purpose is to reduce administrative burden, not to override deduction rules.
- The situation may be reconsidered in light of a recent court ruling, and further developments will be monitored.
