Applicant: Megatherm-Csillaghegy Kft.
Defendant: Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal Fellebbviteli Igazgatósága
Operative part of the order
Articles 63, 167 and 168, 178 to 180, 182 and 273 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as amended by Council Directive 2010/45/EU of 13 July 2010, and the principles of value added tax (VAT) neutrality and proportionality must be interpreted as precluding a national measure under which a taxable person subject to VAT whose tax identification number was revoked on the ground that it had failed to submit and publish its annual accounts then reinstated, following the rectification of that omission, is deprived of its right to deduct input VAT paid during the period preceding that revocation, even though the substantive requirements giving rise to the right to such a deduction are satisfied and that taxable person has not acted fraudulently or abusively in order to be able to benefit from that right.
