- The court ruled that the taxpayer did not prove entitlement to additional input VAT deduction, so the tax assessment was upheld.
- The taxpayer failed to substantiate its claim with documents, and the inspector’s corrections were accepted.
- The court found the inspector had wrongly ignored reconciliation differences (“aansluitingsverschillen”), but those corrections were otherwise sufficiently shown.
- As a result, the tax assessment was not set too high.
- The penalty was reduced because the gross negligence regarding the reconciliation differences could not be attributed to the taxpayer.
