The Finnish Supreme Administrative Court recently issued a ruling regarding the VAT treatment of insurance service packages sold by a registered broker. The court determined that the majority of the services offered were VAT-exempt, including comprehensive policy management, annual maintenance, and services related to policy validity. Furthermore, expert services, risk analysis, and administrative services for risk management purposes, along with policy renewals and competitive tendering, were also deemed exempt. This decision partially upheld the taxpayer’s appeal, overriding the Central Tax Board’s earlier ruling to subject some of those services to VAT.
