Supreme Court Ruling on VAT Deduction Rights for Legal Assistance Costs to Company Director

  • The case involves VAT and the right to deduct VAT paid by a private company for legal assistance costs provided to its director.
  • The court determined that the facts did not require the judgments previously mentioned.
  • The court independently established facts necessary for applying specific articles and denied the requested deduction, exceeding the legal dispute.
  • The Secretary of State argued that the Inspector should not be bound by withdrawing his position on the application of the BUA.
  • The court’s judgment was based on an incorrect legal interpretation, and the appeal was successful.
  • The incidental appeal by the Secretary of State cannot lead to cassation, and the Supreme Court does not need to provide reasoning for this decision.
