- He did unpaid repair, sales, transport, and invoicing work for car stock owned by his wife’s liquidating business.
- The court held he was not an entrepreneur for VAT purposes because he performed the work for free and there was no proven joint business or fiscal unity.
- His reliance on a previously issued VAT number failed; that alone did not create protected legal trust.
- The Supreme Court dismissed his appeal, so the denial of the VAT deduction remained final.
