- The Czech Supreme Administrative Court referred a question to the CJEU about whether taxpayers are entitled to interest on over-collected VAT under securing orders.
- The case concerns whether EU principles of VAT neutrality and proportionality require interest payments when tax authorities retain excess funds.
- There are doubts about the compatibility of Czech law, which does not automatically grant such interest, with EU law.
- Proceedings are paused until the CJEU decides, which could significantly impact taxpayers’ financial rights in similar cases.
