Danish Tax Council Clarifies VAT Exemption for AIF Management Services

• Danish Customs and Tax Administration issued a binding answer on VAT exemptions for AIF management services.
• The taxpayer provided management services to an AIF investing in real estate in Denmark.
• The fund’s assets were placed in a subsidiary that invested in a plot of land for townhouses and a communal house.
• The Tax Agency found that the management services were subject to VAT because the investment didn’t meet the risk diversification condition.
• The Tax Council agreed with the Tax Agency, concluding that the services weren’t covered by the investment fund management VAT exemption.
