- An entrepreneur buys perfumes from German suppliers and offers them to buyers in the Netherlands and Belgium through Bol.com.
- The entrepreneur uses software to find the cheapest provider and has the perfumes delivered to their address, packs them, and sends them to the customer.
- The District Court of Zeeland-West-Brabant ruled that this constitutes a delivery of goods, not a service.
- The entrepreneur pays German sales tax on the purchase price and German VAT on the difference between the proceeds and the purchase price, which they call the brokerage fee.
