Question
A person who damaged an item in a store, is he required to pay the VAT? The damager claims that since the VAT goes to the state and not to the injured party, he is not obligated to pay. On the other hand, the injured party claims that since the money goes into the register, VAT applies to it.
Answer
The injured party is correct, and the damager cannot demand that the injured party not register it in the cash register. Therefore, he must also pay the VAT.
