Kernrechtsfrage
Whether shareholder loans, debt waivers and waived interest were to be treated as donations causing proportional input tax reduction on investment expenses.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Loans and shareholder capital contributions are non-transactions or excluded financial operations; they do not turn into donations merely because they are economically insufficiently justified.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decisive link for input tax deduction is between taxed input services and taxable output activity. Financing by shareholders only affects input tax on costs directly connected with obtaining that financing, not on investment purchases used for taxable hotel operations.
