Kernrechtsfrage
Whether retroactive VAT option for rental income from immovable property had to be granted
Extrahierter Entscheid
The option did not have to be granted for the period under review because the statutory and administrative conditions were not met, and the company did not provide assurance of proper taxpayer compliance.
Extrahierte Begründung
For the relevant period, no application was made at the start of the lease, the rent was not taxed at the normal rate nor invoiced in a VAT-compliant way, and accounting and returns were not proper; therefore the authority could refuse the option.
