Territorial limitation of VAT group according to AG not in conflict with freedom of establishment

  • The Court of Appeal of The Hague ruled against X, a Dutch company that is part of a cross-border group, in a case regarding the territorial boundaries of a fiscal unity for VAT purposes.
  • X appealed, arguing for a per-element approach, but Advocate General Ettema believes that the VAT Directive rightly infringes the freedom of establishment and that the per-element approach cannot override the territorial limit in specific cases.
  • The AG recommends that X’s appeal be declared unfounded.
