- The case concerned whether a Zurich Airport ground handling company could deduct input tax on airport fees for VAT years 2018–2022.
- The court distinguished between flight operation fees (airlines are the recipients) and usage fees for airport infrastructure (the ground handling company is the recipient).
- Input tax deduction was denied for the flight operation fees.
- Input tax deduction of about CHF 21,800 was allowed for the usage fees.
- The company’s good-faith argument based on a 2005 FTA directive failed because the directive was not addressed to it.
