Kernrechtsfrage
Whether VAT shown on customer receipts at the wrong normal rate is owed in full absent correction or credit note.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Under the VAT system, the amount shown on the invoice/receipt is owed and must be remitted unless it is corrected; the taxpayer cannot retain VAT amounts it has charged to customers.
Extrahierte Begründung
The receipt has central importance in VAT law. A falsely shown tax amount may not remain with the taxpayer. Art. 28 Abs. 1 MWSTV provides a sufficient legal basis, and the system of self-assessment requires remittance of amounts actually charged unless a corrected document or credit note is issued.
