Securing VAT tax liabilities as part of the ongoing simplified restructuring proceedings

Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of 2 August 2024, file no. III FSK 355/24, LEX no. 3742736

• The case involved a decision by the Tax Administration Chamber to secure tax liabilities of a company for VAT taxes from January 2020 to August 2020.
• The company appealed the decision, arguing that these liabilities should be covered by the ongoing restructuring proceedings.
• The tax administration claimed that the decision to secure the tax liabilities was lawful and that they could not be covered by the restructuring arrangement.
• The Provincial Administrative Court overturned the decision, stating that the tax liabilities arose before the opening of the restructuring proceedings and should be covered by the arrangement.
• The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the cassation appeal and confirmed that the tax liabilities should be covered by the restructuring arrangement, leading to the discontinuation of the security proceedings. This decision has implications for the handling of tax liabilities in the context of restructuring proceedings and may require tax authorities to carefully analyze the timing of tax liabilities.
