Court of Appeal in Amsterdam: Taxation of PCO-fees

  • The Court of Appeal in Amsterdam rules that the taxpayer is not considered an entrepreneur due to providing loans to her daughter.
  • The parties disagree on whether the taxpayer is liable for VAT on PCO fees.
  • The Court determines that the taxpayer is not a recipient, so the tax assessment was incorrectly imposed.
  • The Court also states that even if the services were provided to the taxpayer, the reverse charge mechanism cannot be applied.
  • The taxpayer is not considered an entrepreneur as the capital provision is not aimed at obtaining sustainable income.
  • The taxpayer is considered to receive services from a non-EU provider, making her liable for VAT in the Netherlands.
