Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant was subject to VAT for the disputed period as a self-employed entrepreneur.
Decisão extraída
Yes. He exercised an independent income-generating business activity and was therefore VAT-liable.
Fundamentação extraída
He ran the restaurant in his own name, kept the revenues, and had earlier accepted VAT liability by filing the returns without reservation. His mistaken belief about a lease did not change the VAT attribution of the turnover.
