- A company was held liable under VAT Act § 46, section 7, for VAT listed on fictitious invoices issued to VAT-registered businesses.
- These businesses used the invoices to claim VAT deductions, exposing the tax authority to potential revenue loss.
- The court found that the company’s ultimate owner authorized a third party to act on the company’s behalf, including issuing invoices.
- It was irrelevant that the third party misused this authority to commit VAT fraud and money laundering without the owner’s knowledge or consent.
