Tax Authority Ordered to Refund Excess VAT Charged on Urban Rehabilitation After Arbitration Ruling

  • The tax authority (AT) must refund excess VAT charged on an urban rehabilitation project after initially approving a lower rate.
  • An arbitration tribunal ruled that binding information from the AT applies to both the taxpayer and the AT itself.
  • The AT cannot retroactively change its position and charge a higher tax, even if later court rulings support the higher rate.
  • The AT was ordered to cancel the additional tax assessment, refund over 375,000 euros, and pay compensatory interest to the taxpayer.
