VAT on '1+1' offers and gas cylinders is legal, ruled the Administrative Court of Appeal

The Administrative Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Administrative Court, ruling that the VAT assessment regarding '1+1' offers and the sale of gas cylinders is legal. The case concerned an appeal by a large supermarket chain, which argued that the VAT calculation was incorrect. The Court ruled that the product given away for free in '1+1' offers should be included in the taxable value, as the offer is a commercial choice of the company. Regarding gas cylinders, the Court rejected the claim that the charge for the cylinder was a deposit and not a separate sale, as no relevant evidence was submitted.
