The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision regarding VAT liability for a company and remanded the case for reconsideration. The court found that agency fees for exempt services were correctly exempted from VAT because the tax law left contractual rights and obligations to the parties' autonomous decision. However, the court rejected the argument that interest on the refund should not be treated as tax arrears, ruling that such interest was legally due as of the filing date.
