Language of the case: Portuguese
Applicant: CTT — Correios de Portugal
Defendant: Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira
1.Do the principles of neutrality, effectiveness, equivalence and proportionality preclude an interpretation of Article 98(2) of the VAT Code to the effect that it does not apply to situations where deductions which have already been made are altered or adjusted?
2.Do those principles preclude legislation such as Article 23(1)(b) and (6) of the VAT Code, interpreted to the effect that a taxable person, who had opted for a coefficient method and/or allocation key in order to calculate the right to deduct tax paid on goods and services of mixed use and who had made the correction on the basis of the final amounts for the year to which the deduction related, pursuant to Article 23(6), may not retroactively alter those amounts by recalculating the initial deduction which has already been adjusted in accordance with that provision following a retroactive VAT assessment relating to an activity which it had initially regarded as being exempt?
