The webshop entrepreneurs of Partywinkel BV from Nieuw-Vennep ran into a fine of more than €20,000 from the Belgian tax authorities, because they had already exceeded the threshold for distance sales to Belgian consumers for several years and therefore had to file a VAT return in Belgium.The District Court of Noord-Holland ruled that the RB tax advisor who assisted them violated his duty of care by notifying the entrepreneurs that they did not have to devote time and attention to sales outside the Netherlands, while this is of decisive importance for the question of whether the threshold amounts have been exceeded.
