- Warsaw Administrative Court held that VAT on separately purchased accommodation and catering services can be deducted if the services are used in the taxpayer’s taxable business activity, such as organizing events for clients.
- The court rejected the tax authority’s view that deduction is allowed only when accommodation and catering are included in a single “comprehensive” service invoice line.
- It emphasized VAT neutrality: input VAT should be deductible when the expenses are not for the taxpayer’s own consumption but are part of providing taxable services to customers.
- The court relied on the Supreme Administrative Court’s 2025 ruling, reinforcing that Article 88(1)(4) VAT restrictions should not override neutrality in such cases.
