We are talking taxman and VATman here, thus (as the saying goes), assume nothing ....
Careful tax planning also reqd, once the money has been paid, if the m. Le Inspecteur subsequently admits overzealous collection, they keep the money anyway and apply the new ruling from the date of the new decision.
There is a tax man out there who failed to understand we hired out helicopters and so we paid too much tax (where do they GET these people....)
