Auction sale and prerequisites for application of article 108 paragraph 1 of the vat act

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to determine the conditions for imposing an obligation to pay tax under Article 108 Section 1 of the Law on Goods and Services Tax on a bailiff who documents an auction sale with VAT invoice in a situation where the tax authority considers that the invoice does not document a real economic event. The article focuses on the sanction-preventive legal nature of the provision of Article 108 paragraph 1 of the Law on Goods and Services Tax in the context of the legal role of the bailiff in the system of collection of this tax in the light of case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, administrative courts and the Constitutional Court.
