Questione giuridica chiave
Whether VAT shown at the wrong rate on cash register receipts is owed as factured tax
Decisione estratta
Yes. Cash register receipts are invoices for VAT purposes, and the tax shown on them is owed unless corrected or proof is shown that no tax loss occurred.
Motivazione estratta
The principle that invoiced VAT equals owed VAT also applies to cash register receipts. Here, the receipts showed a higher rate for goods that should have been taxed at the reduced rate, and no correction was possible because customers were unidentified.
