Court Rules Correct Taxpayer Can Be Reassessed After Refund to Wrong Party

  • The court rules that a previous VAT payment and refund to another taxpayer does not prevent reassessment for the correct taxpayer.
  • A man rents out properties with his wife and runs a sole proprietorship as an advisory office.
  • There are two VAT numbers: one for his advisory practice and one for the rental activities with his wife.
  • It is later found that only the man is the entrepreneur for all activities.
  • The combination paid VAT for rental in 2016, which was refunded in 2021.
  • The tax inspector issued reassessments to the man as the correct taxpayer.
  • The man argues this is double taxation.
  • The court states there is no double taxation since the combination received a full refund.
  • The court finds no violation of principles of proper administration.
  • The man’s right to be heard was not violated as he was sufficiently invited.
  • The court agrees with the previous rejection of a revision request due to no new facts.
