The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that a hotel company could deduct VAT on financial lease payments for boilers used exclusively to heat its premises. The company argued that since the leased equipment was solely for generating heat, the associated fuel costs were directly linked to taxable activities. The court agreed, establishing that the specific use of the leased assets for heating qualified the expenses for VAT deduction under the relevant fiscal provisions.
