August 21, 2024

The Supreme Administrative Court on August 9, 2024, held (case file II FSK 1506/22) that U.S. sales tax paid by a seller on behalf of a buyer was a tax-deductible cost for the seller.

The court found that the payment was a direct cost allocable to each sales transaction (i.e., the tax was related to specific revenue from the sale of a specific product) and not a cost related to the taxpayer’s general revenue.
