On the conditions for tax remission under Art. 92(1)(a) MWSTG
The question of whether or under what conditions taxpayers can be granted a tax remission for domestic and purchase tax has been discussed since the introduction of VAT in 1995. Under the aMWSTG, which was in force until 31 December 1999, the possibility of tax remission was created for the first time, but only to a very limited extent in the context of judicial probate proceedings (Art. 51 aMWSTG). Since the entry into force of the totally revised VAT Act on 1 January 2010 (MWSTG), Art. 92 MWSTG provides new, extended possibilities for the remission of VAT, which are, however, still subject to certain conditions. The last instance ruling of the Federal Administrative Court (BVGer) A-361/2017 of 30 October 2018 grants tax relief to the taxpayer for the periods from 1 January 2010 and contains noteworthy comments on the excusability of an error within the meaning of Art. 92(1)(a) VAT Act.
