Questão jurídica principal
Whether third-party bonus payments for rail transport are taxable consideration under Art. 26(2) MWSTV.
Decisão extraída
The bonuses were not consideration for the cement deliveries and therefore did not enter the VAT base.
Fundamentação extraída
Although the payments reduced the company's transport costs, the system was primarily an environmental and transport-policy mechanism. The bonuses were not linked to identifiable individual deliveries but affected the overall business result, so they amounted to a private subsidy rather than taxable remuneration.
