- A recent court ruling states that pension fund premiums paid by employers are fully subject to VAT, not just the administrative costs. This affects all employers in mandatory sector pension funds, including municipalities, and could increase costs for VAT-exempt organizations. However, the Dutch Tax Authority disagrees and still considers pension premiums VAT-exempt, likely appealing the decision. For now, municipalities do not need to take action or adjust policies, and pension funds are not expected to charge VAT on premiums until there is a final decision. Municipalities are advised to monitor developments and continue current practices.
