The text discusses whether certain sectoral pension funds in the Netherlands should be considered as special investment funds exempt from VAT under EU law. It examines the extent to which the principle of neutrality limits the competence of Member States in defining ‘special investment funds’ and whether an exemption granted to certain pension funds should be extended to others. The key issue is whether the investment risk is borne by the pension fund members, which depends on whether the pension amount varies primarily based on the investment results.
