Court of Appeal Amsterdam Decision Date 15-08-2024: Taxpayer not acting as government entity in waste separation.

• The appellant competes in a commercial waste processing market with approximately 100 companies, refuting the claim that she does not operate in a market.
• The appellant’s argument that she acts as a government entity when separating packaging waste is rejected, as it does not fall under a specific legal regime for public bodies.
• The appellant argues that she is not acting as a business when fulfilling her obligations under the Framework Agreement, but this argument fails.
• The court correctly ruled that the appellant provides services for the packaging industry on a permanent basis, constituting an economic activity.
