Tax law RLR V.4-2018

FOREST COMPANY VOLCANOES GORILLAS (FCVG) Ltd v IKIGO CY’IMISORO N’AMAHORO (RRA)_kn

Advance payments ('avance de démarrage') received by a contractor under a public procurement contract are not subject to VAT or income tax as they do not constitute payment for completed work and are refundable; penalties for late VAT registration must exclude such advance payments; however, FCVG Ltd failed to provide proper accounting, justifying taxation by estimation at a 21% profit margin, and evidence supported a 100% penalty for tax evasion. Legal fees are not awarded as both parties partially succeeded.
