- The text discusses whether compensation for unauthorized use of real estate should be treated as payment for a service or as damages, with VAT implications.
- In the described case, a company leased land for disposal works, but after the contract ended the contractor kept using the property without properly handing it back.
- The company objected from the start, demanded return of the land, and later began charging a fee for “unauthorized use.”
- The company argued this was not a service and therefore should not be subject to VAT.
- The tax authority’s interpretation suggests that even when the owner clearly objects, such use may still be implicitly treated as a taxable service.
