Questão jurídica principal
Whether VAT paid without reservation before the practice change had to be refunded
Decisão extraída
No refund is available for VAT voluntarily declared and paid without reservation under the former practice.
Fundamentação extraída
In self-assessment taxes, the taxpayer is bound by an unreserved declaration and payment; practice changes do not retroactively reopen closed self-assessments absent a timely challenge or reservation.
