Dismissal of Appeal Against Non-Assessment of VAT for 2019 by Austrian Tax Office

• The submission of a VAT annual return without generating sales that do not fall under the exception of the input tax refund regulation does not entitle to carry out an annual assessment
• Decision made by the Federal Fiscal Court regarding a complaint against a non-assessment of VAT for 2019
• The taxpayer submitted a VAT annual return for 2019 with no sales and only input taxes, questioning whether an assessment or refund procedure should be applied
• The input tax refund regulation specifies the procedure for refunding deductible VAT to non-resident businesses with no sales or only tax-exempt sales
• The complaint was dismissed as unfounded, and no ordinary appeal to the Administrative Court is allowed.
