No right to file supplementary returns or rectifications to obtain higher refunds following a final assessment

The taxpayer inquired whether they could attribute expenses to subsequent financial years following a tax authority correction, and whether they could file a supplementary tax return to obtain a larger refund. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that expenses already recorded cannot be reallocated, and that neither supplementary self-assessments nor rectifications are permissible once a final assessment has been issued.
