- A developer planned to build care homes and transfer the property to a housing cooperative, which would then sell shares in the cooperative to the municipality.
- The municipality would then sell or rent the shares to residents in need of full-time care.
- The main question was whether the developer could be considered as selling the homes directly to the residents on a social basis, or if the developer was simply delivering to the municipality as a subcontractor.
- The Tax Administration did not consider the arrangement to be a direct service fulfillment from the developer to the residents.
- This was because the municipality would have a real ownership position as an intermediate step in the process.
