VAT input tax deduction denied for expenses incurred before the taxpayer's establishment date.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the taxpayer's appeal regarding the denial of input VAT deduction. The court found that the taxpayer incurred the relevant expenses prior to its official establishment date, which falls outside the scope of deductible expenses under the VAT Act. Consequently, the lower court's decision to reject the deduction was upheld as legally correct.
