- A-G Ettema believes VAT deduction for building costs of a house with integrated solar panels should be based on actual use of the entire property.
- X built a new house with solar panels and supplies unused electricity to the energy company, qualifying as a VAT entrepreneur.
- The court previously ruled that VAT on construction costs is not deductible, as the costs would have been incurred even without solar panels.
- A-G Ettema disagrees, stating the costs should not be split and the deduction should be calculated based on actual use.
- The recommendation is to uphold X’s appeal and refer the case back for calculation of the VAT deduction based on actual use.
