The NNDKP Center of Excellence in Fiscal Disputes (NNDKP CELF) has successfully represented a client in maintaining the recognition, through a final court decision, of the right to deduct VAT on expenses incurred for investments necessary to start or continue certain real estate projects that were ultimately not completed.
NNDKP CELF has successfully represented its client, a non-resident company, before the national court in which it has made a request for a preliminary ruling to the CJEU concerning the interpretation of the EU VAT Directive and Regulation as regards the existence of a VAT fixed establishment. The dispute with the Romanian National Agency for Tax Administration (in Romanian: Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală or, in short, ANAF) occurred in connection with the provision of toll manufacturing services (or “lohn” contracts as they are commonly known in Romania).
