- The Norwegian Tax Appeals Board clarified the VAT treatment of transferring development projects to SPVs.
- Transfers of mature energy projects to SPVs did not qualify for VAT exemption.
- The projects were not considered standalone, ongoing economic units capable of independent operation.
- The Board upheld that such transfers do not meet the legal definition of a VAT-exempt business transfer under Section 6-14 of the VAT Act.
- Input VAT deduction is only allowed once the activity qualifies as a business activity under Section 8-1 of the VAT Act.
