Key legal question
Whether the taxpayer was subject to VAT retroactively from 1 January 2007 or only from 1 January 2008/2010.
Extracted holding
The taxpayer was correctly treated as VAT-liable; the challenge to the start date failed.
Extracted reasoning
The Court upheld the lower court’s factual findings on the business structure and held that the taxpayer’s turnover and activity met the conditions for subjective VAT liability under the former VAT Act.
