- Wethouder Dylan Lochtenberg of Veenendaal plans to proceed with a legal procedure against the Belastingdienst.
- The procedure is regarding whether or not Veenendaal should pay VAT for the money earned from its three parking garages.
- Veenendaal hoped to avoid the VAT obligation by removing the barriers at the garages, but the plan was unsuccessful.
- The municipality hopes to save €140,000 per year with this tax trick.
- Despite opposition from some members of the municipal council, Lochtenberg believes it is worth going to court.
- The Belastingdienst has not definitively rejected the idea, and Lochtenberg thinks they have a good chance in court.
