Deduction

Deductive reasoning, or deduction, is making an inference based on widely accepted facts or premises. If a beverage is defined as "drinkable through a straw," one could use deduction to determine soup to be a beverage. Inductive reasoning, or induction, is making an inference based on an observation, often of a sample. You can induce that the soup is tasty if you observe all of your friends consuming it.

Abductive reasoning, or abduction, is making a probable conclusion from what you know. If you see an abandoned bowl of hot soup on the table, you can use abduction to conclude the owner of the soup is likely returning soon. Deductive reasoning, or deduction, is making an inference based on widely accepted facts or premises. If a meal is described as "eaten with a fork" you may use deduction to determine that it is solid food, rather than, say, a bowl of soup.

Proportional deduction applies in cases where direct attribution of expenditure either to a supply where there is no right of deduction or to a taxed supply where there is a right of deduction (e.g. in respect of overheads) is not possible.

When does proportional deduction apply? Proportional deduction of input VAT applies whenever a taxable person (business) carries out both transactions in respect of which VAT is deductible (taxed supplies) and those in respect of which it is not (most exempt supplies, for example).

The basic rule Only so much of the VAT incurred by a business on goods and services used both for transactions qualifying for VAT deduction and for transactions not qualifying for VAT deduction may be deducted as can be attributed to transactions qualifying for a VAT deduction.

Under all three methods, where the amount of non-deductible VAT turns out to be very small compared to the deductible amount, EU countries may choose to allow it to be equated to nil and hence allow full deduction.

A business, B Co, has a VAT-exclusive turnover of EUR 70 000 from transactions qualifying for deduction and EUR 50 000 from transactions not so qualifying. It has also sold capital goods for a total of EUR 12 000*.

Examples of expenditure that is not strictly expenditure as quoted in Article 176 VAT Directive are expenditure on luxuries, amusements or entertainment. With the unanimous agreement of all EU countries, a general restriction, or block, is set to be imposed on the deduction of VAT for certain specified types of expenditure.

Until such time, EU countries may retain exclusions that were in place at 1 January 1979 (or as at their date of joining the EU, if later). A number of EU countries, for example, continue to deny deduction for VAT on business entertainment.

Instead of denying deductions, EU countries may instead tax goods the business manufactures itself or purchases within the EU or imports from third countries, but not more heavily than they tax the acquisition of similar goods

What evidence or procedures are needed for deduction? A taxable person (business) may only exercise his right to deduction if he satisfies certain conditions. The precise nature of the evidence or conditions depends on the nature of the transaction in respect of which the deduction is being claimed.

Regardless of the above, EU countries have the authority to allow businesses to make a deduction in cases where they have not been able to comply with the requirements above and/or with the method of making deductions. The EU country concerned will set its own detailed rules for this.

When must an adjustment be made? An initial deduction must be adjusted where it is higher or lower than the deduction to which the taxable person (business) is entitled (Article 184 VAT Directive). This is particularly the case where purchases are cancelled, price reductions are obtained or there is some other change in the factors used to calculate the deduction. However, no adjustment may be made for transactions remaining totally or partially unpaid or where goods purchased are destroyed, lost or stolen (subject to proper proof or confirmation).

Adjustments for capital goods need not be made, therefore, when the business makes only transactions that are taxed or exempt with right of deduction or only transactions that are exempt without right of deduction or non-taxable.

How often must the adjustment be made? The adjustment is made annually during the adjustment period. However, if the degree of entitlement to the deduction (calculated as for proportional deductions generally) is the same in any year as in the first year for which the deduction is claimed, no adjustment need be made.

What happens if capital goods are sold or transferred during their adjustment period? There is only one adjustment period. If the transferee (new business owner) acquires the goods while that period is still running, it must make the adjustment only once in respect of all the time the period still has to run. If the supply to it was taxed, the business' original deduction (initial entitlement percentage) is 100%. If the supply is exempt, it initial entitlement percentage is zero.
