- X, a developer of a building with a daycare and two apartments, disputed additional VAT assessments, fines, and interest. The court ruled X did not prove it bore costs for the apartments, as the contractor invoiced the apartment buyers directly. Therefore, X could not deduct VAT on those costs. However, X was partly successful regarding the allocation of general costs: the court decided the pro rata division should be based on gross floor area, reducing the 2017 assessment and canceling the 2018 one; the 2019 assessment remains. Fines were upheld but partially reduced due to delay. X’s appeal was partly granted.
