- The case focused on whether repayments due to a successful insolvency challenge lead to an input tax adjustment according to the relevant tax law and which tax period is applicable.
- A key issue was that settlement payments were made to a law firm’s escrow account instead of the insolvency estate’s account.
- The court also had to consider potential inappropriate arrangements under the relevant tax code.
- If a creditor repays funds to the insolvency estate after a successful challenge, the original claim is revived.
- Both the tax amount and the input tax deduction of the service recipient must be adjusted due to the revived claim.
