- The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled that directors’ fees should not be subject to VAT.
- This decision overturns the previous position of the Luxembourg VAT authorities.
- The case started when a member of the board of directors received a VAT tax assessment for their director activities.
- The CJEU determined that directors’ activities constitute an economic activity and that the fees can be considered as remuneration for services provided.
- This decision may have implications for VAT treatment of directors’ fees in other EU countries.
