On 13 June 2019, the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) ruled on the IO case (No. C-420/18). This case is about the VAT position of a supervisory director.
The ECJ has ruled that a member of a supervisory board of a Dutch foundation does not perform economic activities independently and therefore does not qualify as a VAT entrepreneur. The Tax and Customs Administration has classified supervisory directors with one or more supervisory directorships as VAT entrepreneurs to date. This judgment therefore deviates from current Dutch practice.
